vhost user: add rarp sending after live migration for legacy guest
A new vhost user message is added to allow QEMU to ask to vhost user backend to
broadcast a fake RARP after live migration for guest without GUEST_ANNOUNCE
capability.
This new message is sent only if the backend supports the new
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_RARP protocol feature.
The payload of this new message is the MAC address of the guest (not known by
the backend). The MAC address is copied in the first 6 bytes of a u64 to avoid
to create a new payload message type.
This new message has no equivalent ioctl so a new callback is added in the
userOps structure to send the request.
Upon reception of this new message the vhost user backend must generate and
broadcast a fake RARP request to notify the migration is terminated.
