Instead of the next_sge callback returning the physical address
directly, make it return the virtual address and convert to physical
address inside the NVMe library.
This is necessary for NVMe over Fabrics host support, since the RDMA
userspace API requires virtual addresses rather than physical addresses.
It is also more consistent with the normal non-SGL NVMe functions that
already take virtual addresses.

This patch also drops support for automatically unbinding
devices from the kernel - run scripts/setup.sh first.
Our generic pci interface is now hidden behind include/spdk/pci.h
and implemented in lib/util/pci.c. We no longer wrap the calls
in nvme_impl.h or ioat_impl.h. The implementation now only uses
DPDK and the libpciaccess dependency has been removed. If using
a version of DPDK earlier than 16.07, enumerating devices
by class code isn't available and only Intel SSDs will be
discovered. DPDK 16.07 adds enumeration by class code and all
NVMe devices will be correctly discovered.

Use the final official spec name rather than a non-standard
abbreviation.

The previous method for registering I/O queues did not allow the user
to specify queue priority for weighted round robin arbitration, and it
limited the application to one queue per controller per thread.
Change the API to require explicit allocation of each queue for each
controller using the new function spdk_nvme_ctrlr_alloc_io_qpair().
Each function that submits a command on an I/O queue now takes an
explicit qpair parameter rather than implicitly using the thread-local
queue.
This also allows the application to allocate different numbers of
threads per controller; previously, the number of queues was capped at
the smallest value supported by any attached controller.
Weighted round robin arbitration is not supported yet; additional
changes to the controller startup process are required to enable
alternate arbitration methods.
