vhost-user interrupt management fixes

Since guest_mask_notifier can not be used in vhost-user mode due
to buffering implied by unix control socket, force
use_mask_notifier on virtio devices of vhost-user interfaces, and
send correct callfd to the guest at vhost start.

Using guest_notifier_mask function in vhost-user case may
break interrupt mask paradigm, because mask/unmask is not
really done when returning from guest_notifier_mask call, instead
message is posted in a unix socket, and processed later.

Add an option boolean flag 'use_mask_notifier' to disable the use
of guest_notifier_mask in virtio pci.
