vhost-user: add vhost_user_gpu_set_socket()

Add a new vhost-user message to give a unix socket to a vhost-user
backend for GPU display updates.

Back when I started that work, I added a new GPU channel because the
vhost-user protocol wasn't bidirectional. Since then, there is a
vhost-user-slave channel for the slave to send requests to the master.
We could extend it with GPU messages. However, the GPU protocol is
quite orthogonal to vhost-user, thus I chose to have a new dedicated
channel.

See vhost-user-gpu.rst for the protocol details.

Sets the GPU protocol socket file descriptor, which is passed as
ancillary data. The GPU protocol is used to inform the master of
rendering state and updates. See vhost-user-gpu.rst for details.
