This patch set attempts to align vhost-user-blk with virtio-blk in
terms of backward compatibility and flexibility. It also improves
the virtio core by introducing new common code that can be used by
a virtio device to calculate its config space size.

In particular it adds the following things:
- Common virtio code for deducing the required device config size based
  on provided host features.
- Ability to disable modern virtio-blk features like
  discard/write-zeroes for vhost-user-blk.
- Dynamic configuration space resizing based on enabled features,
  by reusing the common code introduced in the earlier commits.
- Cleans up the VHostUserBlk structure by reusing parent fields.

Changes since v1 (mostly addresses Stefan's feedback):
- Introduce VirtIOConfigSizeParams & virtio_get_config_size
- Remove virtio_blk_set_config_size altogether, make virtio-blk-common.c
  only hold the virtio-blk config size parameters.
- Reuse parent fields in vhost-user-blk instead of introducing new ones.

Daniil Tatianin (8):
  virtio: introduce VirtIOConfigSizeParams & virtio_get_config_size
  virtio-blk: utilize VirtIOConfigSizeParams & virtio_get_config_size
  virtio-net: utilize VirtIOConfigSizeParams & virtio_get_config_size
  virtio: remove the virtio_feature_get_config_size helper
  virtio-blk: move config size params to virtio-blk-common
  vhost-user-blk: make it possible to disable write-zeroes/discard
  vhost-user-blk: make 'config_wce' part of 'host_features'
  vhost-user-blk: dynamically resize config space based on features
