net/vhost: add parameter to enable postcopy

Browse Source 
Introduce a new postcopy-support parameter to Vhost PMD that
passes the RTE_VHOST_USER_POSTCOPY_SUPPORT flag at vhost
device register time.

Flag should only be set if application does not prefault guest
memory using, for example, mlockall() syscall.

Default value is 0, meaning that postcopy support is disabled
unless specified explicitly.

Example to enable postcopy support for a given device:

--vdev 'net_vhost0,iface=/tmp/vhost-user1,postcopy-support=1'
