vhost: Shadow virtqueue buffers forwarding

Initial version of shadow virtqueue that actually forward buffers. There
is no iommu support at the moment, and that will be addressed in future
patches of this series. Since all vhost-vdpa devices use forced IOMMU,
this means that SVQ is not usable at this point of the series on any
device.

For simplicity it only supports modern devices, that expects vring
in little endian, with split ring and no event idx or indirect
descriptors. Support for them will not be added in this series.

It reuses the VirtQueue code for the device part. The driver part is
based on Linux's virtio_ring driver, but with stripped functionality
and optimizations so it's easier to review.

However, forwarding buffers have some particular pieces: One of the most
unexpected ones is that a guest's buffer can expand through more than
one descriptor in SVQ. While this is handled gracefully by qemu's
emulated virtio devices, it may cause unexpected SVQ queue full. This
patch also solves it by checking for this condition at both guest's
kicks and device's calls. The code may be more elegant in the future if
SVQ code runs in its own iocontext.
