vhost-user: add vhost_user_gpu_set_socket()
Add a new vhost-user message to give a unix socket to a vhost-user
backend for GPU display updates.
Back when I started that work, I added a new GPU channel because the
vhost-user protocol wasn't bidirectional. Since then, there is a
vhost-user-slave channel for the slave to send requests to the master.
We could extend it with GPU messages. However, the GPU protocol is
quite orthogonal to vhost-user, thus I chose to have a new dedicated
channel.
See vhost-user-gpu.rst for the protocol details.
