Stefan Hajnoczi d9b495f9c6 block/export: add vhost-user-blk multi-queue support
Allow the number of queues to be configured using --export
vhost-user-blk,num-queues=N. This setting should match the QEMU --device
vhost-user-blk-pci,num-queues=N setting but QEMU vhost-user-blk.c lowers
its own value if the vhost-user-blk backend offers fewer queues than
QEMU.

The vhost-user-blk-server.c code is already capable of multi-queue. All
virtqueue processing runs in the same AioContext. No new locking is
needed.

Add the num-queues=N option and set the VIRTIO_BLK_F_MQ feature bit.
Note that the feature bit only announces the presence of the num_queues
configuration space field. It does not promise that there is more than 1
virtqueue, so we can set it unconditionally.

I tested multi-queue by running a random read fio test with numjobs=4 on
an -smp 4 guest. After the benchmark finished the guest /proc/interrupts
file showed activity on all 4 virtio-blk MSI-X. The /sys/block/vda/mq/
directory shows that Linux blk-mq has 4 queues configured.

An automated test is included in the next commit.
