In passt_vhost_user_start(), if vhost_net_init() fails, the "net"
variable is NULL and execution jumps to the "err:" label.
The cleanup code within this label is conditioned on "if (net)",
which can never be true in this error case. This makes the cleanup
block dead code, as reported by Coverity (CID 1612371).
Refactor the error handling to occur inline, removing the goto and
the unreachable cleanup block.

The "err" variable was declared but never used within the
passt_vhost_user_event() function. This resulted in a dead code
warning (CID 1612375) from Coverity.
Remove the unused variable and the associated error block
to resolve the issue.

This commit adds support for the vhost-user interface to the passt
network backend, enabling high-performance, accelerated networking for
guests using passt.
The passt backend can now operate in a vhost-user mode, where it
communicates with the guest's virtio-net device over a socket pair
using the vhost-user protocol. This offloads the datapath from the
main QEMU loop, significantly improving network performance.
When the vhost-user=on option is used with -netdev passt, the new
vhost initialization path is taken instead of the standard
stream-based connection.

This commit introduces support for passt as a new network backend.
passt is an unprivileged, user-mode networking solution that provides
connectivity for virtual machines by launching an external helper process.
The implementation reuses the generic stream data handling logic. It
launches the passt binary using GSubprocess, passing it a file
descriptor from a socketpair() for communication. QEMU connects to
the other end of the socket pair to establish the network data stream.
The PID of the passt daemon is tracked via a temporary file to
ensure it is terminated when QEMU exits.
