net: Add get_vhost_net callback to NetClientInfo

The get_vhost_net() function previously contained a large switch
statement to find the VHostNetState pointer based on the net
client's type. This created a tight coupling, requiring the generic
vhost layer to be aware of every specific backend that supported
vhost, such as tap, vhost-user, and vhost-vdpa.

This approach is not scalable and requires modifying a central function
for any new backend. It also forced each backend to expose its internal
getter function in a public header file.

This patch refactors the logic by introducing a new get_vhost_net
function pointer to the NetClientInfo struct. The central
get_vhost_net() function is now a simple, generic dispatcher that
invokes the callback provided by the net client.

Each backend now implements its own private getter and registers it in
its NetClientInfo.
