This commit changes existing behavior of named TAP interfaces.
When booting a VM with configuration for a named TAP interface,
cloud-hypervisor will create the interface and apply a given
IP configuration to that interface. If the named interface
already exists on the system, the configuration is NOT overwritten.
Setting the ip and netmask fields in a tap interface configuration
for a named tap interface now works by handing this configuration
to the virtio_devices::Net object when it is created with a name.
This commit also touches net_util to make sure that the ip configuration
of existing TAP interfaces is not modified with ip or netmask handed to
open_tap.

Considering error messages will be mostly nested, ensuring no
punctuation at the end will make the error log more readable.

Add a new "mtu" parameter to the NetConfig structure and therefore to
the --net option. This allows Cloud Hypervisor's users to define the
Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) they want to use for the network
interface that they create.
In details, there are two main aspects. On the one hand, the TAP
interface is created with the proper MTU if it is provided. And on the
other hand the guest is made aware of the MTU through the VIRTIO
configuration. That means the MTU is properly set on both the TAP on the
host and the network interface in the guest.

Setting the tap offload should only be done based on the features that
are acked by the guest. Therefore it is incorrect to set these upon
opening the tap.

This helper can open a TAP device and configure the interface on it. If
the device needs to be opened multiple times for MQ then it also handles
that correctly.

Rather than use an embedded String inside the MultiQueueSupport error
value use two different values to differentiate the two cases.

By moving the code for opening the TAP device into a shared location we
are starting to remove the requirement for the vhost-user-net backend to
depend on the virtio-devices crate which in of itself depends on many
other crates that are not necessary for the backend to function.
