vhost: multiqueue support

This patch lets vhost support multiqueue. The idea is simple, just launching
multiple threads of vhost and let each of vhost thread processing a subset of
the virtqueues of the device. After this change each emulated device can have
multiple vhost threads as its backend.

To do this, a virtqueue index were introduced to record to first virtqueue that
will be handled by this vhost_net device. Based on this and nvqs, vhost could
calculate its relative index to setup vhost_net device.

Since we may have many vhost/net devices for a virtio-net device. The setting of
guest notifiers were moved out of the starting/stopping of a specific vhost
thread. The vhost_net_{start|stop}() were renamed to
vhost_net_{start|stop}_one(), and a new vhost_net_{start|stop}() were introduced
to configure the guest notifiers and start/stop all vhost/vhost_net devices.
