virtio-gpu api: blob resources

A blob resource is a container for:
   - VIRTIO_GPU_BLOB_MEM_GUEST: a guest memory allocation
     (referred to as a "guest-only blob resource")

   - VIRTIO_GPU_BLOB_MEM_HOST3D: a host3d memory allocation
     (referred to as a "host-only blob resource")

   - VIRTIO_GPU_BLOB_MEM_HOST3D_GUEST: a guest + host3d memory allocation
     (referred to as a "default blob resource").

The memory properties of the blob resource must be described by
`blob_mem`.

For default and guest only blob resources set, `nents` guest system
pages are assigned to the resource.  For default blob resources,
these guest pages are used for transfer operations. Attach/detach is
also possible to allow swap-in/swap-out, but isn't required since it
may not be applicable to future blob mem types
(shared guest/guest vram).

Host allocations depend on whether the 3D is supported. If 3D is not
supported, the only valid field for `blob_mem` is
VIRTIO_GPU_BLOB_MEM_GUEST.

If 3D is supported, the virtio-gpu resource is created from the
context local object identified by the `blob_id`. The actual host
allocation done by the CMD_SUBMIT_3D.

Userspace must specify if the blob resource is intended to be used
for userspace mapping, sharing between virtio-gpu contexts and/or
sharing between virtio devices. This is done via `blob_flags`.

For 3D hosts, both VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_TRANSFER_TO_HOST_3D and
VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_TRANSFER_FROM_HOST_3D may be used to update
the host resource. There is no restriction on the image/buffer
view the guest/host userspace has on the blob resource.

VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_SET_SCANOUT_BLOB / VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_RESOURCE_FLUSH may
be used with blob resources as well.  The modifier is intentionally
left out of SCANOUT_BLOB, and auxilary blobs are also left out
as a simplification.

The use case for blob resources is zero-copy, needed for coherent
memory in virglrenderer. Host only blob resources are not mappable
without the feature described in the next patch, but are shareable.

Future work:
   - Emulated coherent `blob_mem` type for QEMU/vhost-user
   - A `blob_mem` type for guest-only resources imported in
     cache-coherent FOSS GPU/display drivers.
   - Display integration involving the blob model using seamless
     Wayland windows.
