[PATCH v4 2/5] vhost_user: header defines for add/rem mem region

The changes in this file cover the enum message requests for
supporting add/remove memory regions. The front-end vhost-user
client sends messages like get max memory slots, add memory region
and remove memory region which are covered in these changes which
are on the vhost-user back-end. The changes also include data structure
definition of memory region to be added/removed. The data structure
VhostUserMsg has been changed to include the memory region.
