virtio-net: Make tx_timer timeout configurable

Add an option to make the TX mitigation timer adjustable as a device
option.  The 150us hard coded default used currently is reasonable,
but may not be suitable for all workloads, this gives us a way to
adjust it using a single binary.  We can't support any random option
though, so use the "x-" prefix to indicate this is a developer
option.  Usage:

-device virtio-net-pci,x-txtimer=500000,... # .5ms timeout
