virtio_net: Bypass backends for MTU feature negotiation
This patch adds a new internal "x-mtu-bypass-backend" property to bypass backends for MTU feature negotiation. When this property is set, the MTU feature is negotiated as soon as supported by the guest and a MTU value is set via the host_mtu parameter. In case the backend advertises the feature (e.g. DPDK's vhost-user backend), the feature negotiation is propagated down to the backend. When this property is not set, the backend has to support the MTU feature for its negotiation to succeed. For compatibility purpose, this property is disabled for machine types v2.9 and older.
