virtio-net: add vnet_hdr support

With '-netdev tap,id=foo -nic model=virtio,netdev=foo' virtio-net can
detect that its peer (i.e. the tap backend) supports vnet headers
and advertise to the guest that it can send packets with partial
checksums and/or TSO packets.

One complication is that if we're migrating and the source host
supports IFF_VNET_HDR but the destination host doesn't, we can't then
stop the guest from using those features. In this scenario, we just
fail the migration.

[v2:
 - add has_vnet_hdr uint32_t field for ease of vmstate conversion
 - use qemu_error()
