vmm: Add support for spawning vhost-user-net backend

If no socket is supplied when enabling "vhost_user=true" on "--net"
follow the "exe" path in the /proc entry for this process and launch the
network backend (via the vmm_path field.)

Currently this only supports creating a new tap interface as the network
backend also only supports that.
