ivshmem: Propagate errors through ivshmem_recv_setup()

This kills off the funny state described in the previous commit.

Simplify ivshmem_io_read() accordingly, and update documentation.

When using the server, the guest will be assigned a VM ID (>=0) that allows guests
using the same server to communicate via interrupts. Guests can read their
VM ID from a device register (see example code). Since receiving the shared
memory region from the server is asynchronous, there is a (small) chance the
guest may boot before the shared memory is attached. To allow an application
to ensure shared memory is attached, the VM ID register will return -1 (an
invalid VM ID) until the memory is attached. Once the shared memory is
attached, the VM ID will return the guest's valid VM ID. With these semantics,
the guest application can check to ensure the shared memory is attached to the
guest before proceeding.

The @option{role} argument can be set to either master or peer and will affect
how the shared memory is migrated. With @option{role=master}, the guest will
