Support backend guest notifier masking in vhost-net:
create eventfd at device init, when masked,
make vhost use that as eventfd instead of
sending an interrupt.

Move public headers to include/net, and leave private headers in net/.
Put the virtio headers in include/net/tap.h, removing the multiple copies
that existed. Leave include/net/tap.h as the interface for NICs, and
net/tap_int.h as the interface for OS-specific parts of the tap backend.

The vlan feature is no longer part of net core. Rename VLANClientState
to NetClientState because net clients are not explicitly associated with
a vlan at all, instead they have a peer net client to which they are
connected.
This patch is a mechanical search-and-replace except for a few
whitespace fixups where changing VLANClientState to NetClientState
misaligned whitespace.

When MSI is off, each interrupt needs to be bounced through the io
thread when it's set/cleared, so vhost-net causes more context switches and
higher CPU utilization than userspace virtio which handles networking in
the same thread.
We'll need to fix this by adding level irq support in kvm irqfd,
for now disable vhost-net in these configurations.
Added a vhostforce flag to force vhost-net back on.

This adds vhost net device support in qemu. Will be tied to tap device
and virtio by following patches. Raw backend is currently missing,
will be worked on/submitted separately.
