In a container environment if the vhost-user backend restarts, there's
no way for it to reconnect to virtio-user. To address this, support for
server mode is added. In this mode the socket file is created by virtio-
user, which the backend then connects to. This means that if the backend
restarts, it can reconnect to virtio-user and continue communications.
With current implementation, LSC is enabled at virtio-user side to
support to accept the coming connection.
Server mode virtio-user only supports to work with vhost-user.
Release note is updated in this patch.
