Albert Esteve 03c9524bc4 vhost-user: Add support for GET_SHMEM_CONFIG message
Add support for GET_SHMEM_CONFIG message to retrieve
VirtIO Shared Memory Regions configuration.

This is useful when the frontend is unaware of specific
backend type and configuration of the memory layout.

Based on the patch [1] which is just waiting for being
merged.
