Changpeng Liu 00343e4b54 vhost-user-blk: introduce a new vhost-user-blk host device
This commit introduces a new vhost-user device for block, it uses a
chardev to connect with the backend, same with Qemu virito-blk device,
Guest OS still uses the virtio-blk frontend driver.

To use it, start QEMU with command line like this:

qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/path/vhost.socket \
    -device vhost-user-blk-pci,chardev=char0,num-queues=2, \
            bootindex=2... \

Users can use different parameters for `num-queues` and `bootindex`.

Different with exist Qemu virtio-blk host device, it makes more easy
for users to implement their own I/O processing logic, such as all
user space I/O stack against hardware block device. It uses the new
vhost messages(VHOST_USER_GET_CONFIG) to get block virtio config
information from backend process.
