[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 02/22] net/vhost: remove feature related APIs

The rte_eth_vhost_feature_disable/enable/get APIs are just a wrapper of
rte_vhost_feature_disable/enable/get. However, the later are going to
be refactored; it's going to take an extra parameter (socket_file path),
to let it be per-device.

Instead of changing those vhost-pmd APIs to adapt to the new vhost APIs,
we could simply remove them, and let vdev to serve this purpose. After
all, vdev options is better for disabling/enabling some features.

+* **Reworked rte_vhost library**
+
+  The rte_vhost library has been reworked to make it generic enough so that
+  user could build other vhost-user drivers on top of it. To achieve that,
+  following changes have been made:
+
+  * The following vhost-pmd APIs are removed:
+
+    * ``rte_eth_vhost_feature_disable``
+    * ``rte_eth_vhost_feature_enable``
+    * ``rte_eth_vhost_feature_get``
