We currently poll all available queues based on the max queue count
exchanged with the vhost peer and rely on the vhost library in DPDK to
check the vring status beneath.
This can lead to some overhead when we have a lot of unused queues.

To enhance the situation, we can skip the disabled queues.
On rxq notifications, we make use of the netdev's change_seq number so
that the pmd thread main loop can cache the queue state periodically.

Changes since v1:
- only indicate disabled queues in dpif-netdev/pmd-rxq-show output
- Ilya comments
  - no need for a struct as we only need a boolean per rxq
  - "rx_q" is generic, while we only care for this in vhost case,
    renamed as "vhost_rxq_enabled",
  - add missing rte_free on allocation error,
  - vhost_rxq_enabled is freed in vhost destruct only,
  - rxq0 is enabled at the virtio device activation to accomodate
    legacy implementations which would not report per queue states
    later,
  - do not mix boolean with integer,
  - do not use bit operand on boolean,
