In rte_vhost_driver_register(), vhost unix domain socket listener fd is created
and added to polled(based on select) fdset.
In rte_vhost_driver_session_start(), fds in the fdset are checked for
processing. If there is new connection from qemu, connection fd accepted is
added to polled fdset. The listener and connection fds in the fdset are
then both checked. When there is message on the connection fd, its
callback vserver_message_handler is called to process vhost-user messages.
To support identifying which virtio is from which guest VM, we could call
rte_vhost_driver_register with different socket path. Virtio devices from
same VM will connect to VM specific socket. The socket path information is
stored in the virtio_net structure.

This patch fixes the issue whereby when using userspace vhost ports
in the context of vSwitching, the name provided to the hypervisor/QEMU
of the vhost tap device needs to be exposed in the library, in order
for the vSwitch to be able to direct packets to the correct device.
This patch introduces an 'ifname' member to the virtio-net structure
which is populated with the tap device name when QEMU is brought up
with a vhost device.

Rename init_virtio_net as rte_vhost_callback_register API.
rte_vhost_callback_register register the callbacks called when a
vhost device is created and ready to be added to data processing core
or is de-actived by guest.

vhost_net_device_ops is internal implementation in vhost lib.
register_cuse_device will be vhost driver register API.
There is no need for it to know the internal vhost ops.
Instead, that ops is retrieved in register_cuse_device
through get_virtio_net_callbacks.

rte_vhost_enqueue_burst copies host packets to guest.
rte_vhost_enqueue_burst will call virtio_dev_rx and virtio_dev_merge_rx
respectively depending on whether merge-able feature is negotiated or not
in the vhost device.
virtio_dev_merge_tx is renamed to rte_vhost_dequeue_burst.
rte_vhost_dequeue_burst gets to-be-sent packets from guest.

The structure virtio_net_config_ll is moved to virtio_net.c.
It is related to internal virtio device management,
so it should not be exposed to other files.

Currently zero copy feature isn't generic as it couples closely with nic.
It isn't put in the vhost lib in this version.

The following logics will be moved to vhost example:
1. mac learning, which is used to learn the mac address from the first
transmitted packet of guest and bind the vhost device to a queue in a
pool of VMDQ.
2. VMDQ mac/vlan filter: Each pool the vhost device is bind to is
assigned a mac/vlan filter.
3. num_devices is used to specify the maximum vhost devices the nic supports.

Those files will be refactored in subsequent patches to form user space
vhost library.
Makefile and main.h are removed.
main.c is renamed to vhost_rxtx.c and will provide vring enqueue/dequeue API.
virtio-net.h is renamed to rte_virtio_net.h which is the API header file.
