virtio-devices: net: add guest-announce plumbing

Browse Source 
Advertise `VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE` on virtio-net devices, surface
`VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE` through config status, and handle
`VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_ANNOUNCE_ACK` on the control queue.

This adds the guest-visible state needed for post-migration or
post-restore announce requests; the VMM side triggering is added in
follow-up commits.

The motivation is to reduce post-migration and post-restore
connectivity gap. After a live migration or after restoring, it can
take the guest several seconds to be reachable again over the network.
With these announcements, the network path should be refreshed within a
few milliseconds.

When the above commands completed, the VM should be successfully
migrated to the destination machine without interrupting the workload.
### Network Announcements After Resume
After a VM resumes from migration, snapshot restore, or any other path
that restores a previously paused VM, Cloud Hypervisor asks supported
network devices to announce the VM from its new host. For `virtio-net`,
the current implementation sets `VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE`, raises a config
interrupt, retries that request a few times in the background, and also
sends host-side RARP announcements on the TAP interfaces. A guest
re-announcement therefore only happens when the guest negotiated
`VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE`. For `vhost-user-net`, the current implementation
only uses the guest announcement path.
