vhost-user: fix legacy cross-endian configurations

Currently, vhost-user does not implement any means for notifying the
backend about guest endianess. This commit introduces a new message
called VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENDIAN which is analogous to the ioctl()
called VHOST_SET_VRING_ENDIAN used for kernel vhost backends. Such
message is necessary for backends supporting legacy (pre-1.0) virtio
devices running in big-endian guests.
