Jason Wang 1001cf45a7 e1000: indicate dropped packets in HW counters
The e1000 emulation silently discards RX packets if there's
insufficient space in the ring buffer. This leads to errors
on higher-level protocols in the guest, with no indication
about the error cause.

This patch increments the "Missed Packets Count" (MPC) and
"Receive No Buffers Count" (RNBC) HW counters in this case.
As the emulation has no FIFO for buffering packets that can't
immediately be pushed to the guest, these two registers are
practically equivalent (see 10.2.7.4, 10.2.7.33 in
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/embedded/products/networking/82574l-gbe-controller-datasheet.html).

On a Linux guest, the register content  will be reflected in
the "rx_missed_errors" and "rx_no_buffer_count" stats from
"ethtool -S", and in the "missed" stat from "ip -s -s link show",
giving at least some hint about the error cause inside the guest.

If the cause is known, problems like this can often be avoided
easily, by increasing the number of RX descriptors in the guest
e1000 driver (e.g under Linux, "e1000.RxDescriptors=1024").

The patch also adds a qemu trace message for this condition.
