This started as an attempt to update ivshmem_device_spec.txt for
clarity, accuracy and completeness while working on its code, and
quickly became a full rewrite. Since the diff would be useless
anyway, I'm using the opportunity to rename the file to
ivshmem-spec.txt.
I tried hard to ensure the new text contradicts neither the old text
nor the code. If the new text contradicts the old text but not the
code, it's probably a bug in the old text. If the new text
contradicts both, its probably a bug in the new text.

The current ivshmem protocol uses 'long' for integers. But the
sizeof(long) depends on the host and the endianess is not defined, which
may cause portability troubles.
Instead, switch to using little-endian int64_t. This breaks the
protocol, except on x64 little-endian host where this change
should be compatible.

Send a protocol version as the first message from server, clients must
close communication if they don't support this protocol version. Older
QEMUs should be fine with this change in the protocol since they
overrides their own vm_id on reception of an id associated to no
eventfd.

Add some notes on the parts needed to use ivshmem devices: more specifically,
explain the purpose of an ivshmem server and the basic concept to use the
ivshmem devices in guests.
Move some parts of the documentation and re-organise it.
