[dpdk-dev] [RFC v2 1/2] vhost: add API to set protocol features flags

rte_vhost_driver_set_protocol_features API is to be used
by external backends to advertize vhost-user protocol
features it supports.

It has to be called after rte_vhost_driver_register() and
before rte_vhost_driver_start().

Example of usage to advertize VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_FOOBAR
protocol feature:

const char *path = "/tmp/vhost-user";
uint64_t protocol_features;
rte_vhost_driver_register(path, 0);
rte_vhost_driver_get_protocol_features(path, &protocol_features);
protocol_features |= VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_FOOBAR;
rte_vhost_driver_set_protocol_features(path, protocol_features);
rte_vhost_driver_start(path);
