The supplied chardev id will be inspected for supported options. Only
a socket backend, with a set path (i.e. a Unix socket) and optionally
the server parameter set, will be allowed. Other options (nowait, telnet)
will make the chardev unusable and the netdev will not be initialised.
Additional checks for validity:
- requires `-numa node,memdev=..`
- requires `-device virtio-net-*`
The `vhostforce` option is used to force vhost-net when we deal with
non-MSIX guests.

Each networking client has a queue for packets that could not yet be
delivered to that client. Calling this queue "send_queue" is highly
confusing as it has nothing to to with packets send from this client but
to it. Avoid this confusing by renaming it to "incoming_queue".

When frontend and backend are connected through a hub as below
(showing only one direction), and the frontend (or in general, all
output ports of the hub) cannot accept more traffic, the backend
queues packets in queue-A.
When the frontend (or in general, one output port) becomes ready again,
quemu tries to flush packets from queue-B, which is unfortunately empty.
e1000.0 <--[queue B]-- hub0port0(hub)hub0port1 <--[queue A]-- tap.0
To fix this i propose to introduce a new function net_hub_flush()
which is called when trying to flush a queue connected to a hub.

Move public headers to include/net, and leave private headers in net/.
Put the virtio headers in include/net/tap.h, removing the multiple copies
that existed. Leave include/net/tap.h as the interface for NICs, and
net/tap_int.h as the interface for OS-specific parts of the tap backend.

This patch doesn't seem much useful alone, I must admit. However,
it makes sense as part of the upcoming directory reorganization,
where I want to have include/net/tap.h as the net<->hw interface
for tap. Then having both net/tap.h and include/net/tap.h does
not work. "Fixed" by moving all the init functions to a single
header file net/clients.h.
The patch also adopts a uniform style for including net/*.h files
from net/*.c, without the net/ path.

In commit 60c07d933c ("net: fix
qemu_can_send_packet logic") the "VLAN" broadcast behavior was changed
to queue packets if any net client cannot receive. It turns out that
this was not actually the right fix and just hides the real bug that
hw/usb/dev-network.c:usbnet_receive() clobbers its receive buffer when
called multiple times in a row. The commit also introduced a new bug
that "VLAN" packets would not be sent if one of multiple net clients was
down.
The hw/usb/dev-network.c bug has since been fixed, so this patch reverts
broadcast behavior to send packets as long as one net client can
receive. Packets simply get queued for the net clients that are
temporarily unable to receive.

The vlan feature is no longer part of net core. Rename VLANClientState
to NetClientState because net clients are not explicitly associated with
a vlan at all, instead they have a peer net client to which they are
connected.
This patch is a mechanical search-and-replace except for a few
whitespace fixups where changing VLANClientState to NetClientState
misaligned whitespace.

Instead of using VLANState use net/hub.h to support the vlan qdev
property. The vlan qdev property becomes an alias for the peer qdev
property but is represented as a VLAN ID number. When a VLAN ID is
selected the device will really peer with a hub port.

Checks can be performed to make sure that hubs have at least one NIC and
one host device, warning the user if this is not the case.
Configurations which do not meet this rule tend to be broken but just
emit a warning. This patch preserves compatibility with the checks
performed by net core on vlans.
