vhost_net: basic in_order support

This patch introduces basic in-order support for vhost-net. By
recording the number of batched buffers in an array when calling
`vhost_add_used_and_signal_n()`, we can reduce the number of userspace
accesses. Note that the vhost-net batching logic is kept as we still
count the number of buffers there.

Testing Results:

With testpmd:

- TX: txonly mode + vhost_net with XDP_DROP on TAP shows a 17.5%
  improvement, from 4.75 Mpps to 5.35 Mpps.
- RX: No obvious improvements were observed.

With virtio-ring in-order experimental code in the guest:

- TX: pktgen in the guest + XDP_DROP on TAP shows a 19% improvement,
  from 5.2 Mpps to 6.2 Mpps.
- RX: pktgen on TAP with vhost_net + XDP_DROP in the guest achieves a
  6.1% improvement, from 3.47 Mpps to 3.61 Mpps.
