vhost-user: modify SET_LOG_BASE to pass mmap size and offset
Unlike the kernel, vhost-user application accesses log table by mmaping it to its user space. This change adds two new fields to VhostUserMsg payload: mmap_size, and mmap_offset and make QEMU to pass the to vhost-user application in VHOST_USER_SET_LOG_BASE request.
