Previously, the vhost_net_get_feature_bits() function in
hw/net/vhost_net.c used a large switch statement to determine
the appropriate feature bits based on the NetClientDriver type.
This created unnecessary coupling between the generic vhost layer
and specific network backends (like TAP, vhost-user, and
vhost-vdpa).
This patch moves the definition of vhost feature bits directly into the
vhost_net structure for each relevant network client.

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.

This patch set introduces a new net client type: vhost-vdpa.
vhost-vdpa net client will set up a vDPA device which is specified
by a "vhostdev" parameter.
