Yuanhan Liu af14759181 vhost: introduce API to start a specific driver
We used to use rte_vhost_driver_session_start() to trigger the vhost-user
session. It takes no argument, thus it's a global trigger. And it could
be problematic.

The issue is, currently, rte_vhost_driver_register(path, flags) actually
tries to put it into the session loop (by fdset_add). However, it needs
a set of APIs to set a vhost-user driver properly:
  * rte_vhost_driver_register(path, flags);
  * rte_vhost_driver_set_features(path, features);
  * rte_vhost_driver_callback_register(path, vhost_device_ops);

If a new vhost-user driver is registered after the trigger (think OVS-DPDK
that could add a port dynamically from cmdline), the current code will
effectively starts the session for the new driver just after the first
API rte_vhost_driver_register() is invoked, leaving later calls taking
no effect at all.

To handle the case properly, this patch introduce a new API,
rte_vhost_driver_start(path), to trigger a specific vhost-user driver.
To do that, the rte_vhost_driver_register(path, flags) is simplified
to create the socket only and let rte_vhost_driver_start(path) to
actually put it into the session loop.

Meanwhile, the rte_vhost_driver_session_start is removed: we could hide
the session thread internally (create the thread if it has not been
created). This would also simplify the application.

NOTE: the API order in prog guide is slightly adjusted for showing the
correct invoke order.
