With the internal IP configuration made more flexible, we can now
enhance the user interface. This patch adds a number of new options to
"-net user": net (address and mask), host, dhcpstart, dns and smbserver.
It also renames "redir" to "hostfwd" and "channel" to "guestfwd" in
order to (hopefully) clarify their meanings. The format of guestfwd is
extended so that the user can define not only the port but also the
virtual server's IP address the forwarding starts from.

The user mode IP stack is currently only minimally configurable /wrt to
its virtual IP addresses. This is unfortunate if some guest has a fixed
idea of which IP addresses to use.
Therefore this patch prepares the stack for fully configurable IP
addresses and masks. The user interface and default addresses remain
untouched in this step, they will be enhanced in the following patch.

So far a couple of slirp-related parameters were expressed via
stand-alone command line options. This it inconsistent and unintuitive.
Moreover, it prevents both dynamically reconfigured (host_net_add/
delete) and multi-instance slirp.
This patch refactors the configuration by turning -smb, -redir, -tftp
and -bootp as well as -net channel into options of "-net user". The old
stand-alone command line options are still processed, but no longer
advertised. This allows smooth migration of management applications to
to the new syntax and also the extension of that syntax later in this
series.
