net: Introduce NetClientInfo.check_peer_type()
Some network backends (vhost-user and vhost-vdpa) work only with
specific devices. At startup, they second guess what the command line
option handling will do and error out if they think a non-virtio device
will attach to them.
This second guessing is not only ugly, it can lead to wrong error
messages ('-device floppy,netdev=foo' should complain about an unknown
property, not about the wrong kind of network device being attached) and
completely ignores hotplugging.
Add a callback where backends can check compatibility with a device when
it actually tries to attach, even on hotplug.
