This patch documents RSS feature in Vhost-user specification. Two new requests are introduced backed by a dedicated protocol feature.
First one is to query the Vhost-user slave RSS capabilities such as supported hash types, maximum key length and indirection table size. The second one is to provide the slave with driver's RSS configuration.
