Implement in-band notifications that are necessary for running
vhost-user devices under externally synchronized time-travel
mode (which is in a follow-up patch). This feature makes what
usually should be eventfd notifications in-band messages.
We'll prefer this feature, under the assumption that only a
few (simulation) devices will ever support it, since it's not
very efficient.

Implement the VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_REPLY_ACK extension for both
slave requests (previous patch) where we have to reply and our
own requests where it helps understand if the slave failed.

Implement the communication channel for the device to notify
us of some events, and notably implement the handling of the
config updates needed for the combination of this feature
and VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_CONFIG.
