Stefan Hajnoczi ea1b802ca2 libvhost-user: implement VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ
Existing vhost-user device backends, including vhost-user-scsi and
vhost-user-blk, support multiqueue but libvhost-user currently does not
advertise this.

VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ enables the VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM request
needed for a vhost-user master to query the number of queues.  For
example, QEMU's vhost-user-net master depends on
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ for multiqueue.

If you're wondering how any device backend with more than one virtqueue
functions today, it's because device types with a fixed number of
virtqueues do not require querying the number of queues.  Therefore the
vhost-user master for vhost-user-input with 2 virtqueues, for example,
doesn't actually depend on VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ.  It just enables
virtqueues 0 and 1 without asking.

Let there be multiqueue!
