v4 -> v5:
- Allow shared table to hold pointers for vhost devices, in a struct that 
defines the types that the table can store
- New message VHOST_USER_GET_SHARED_OBJECT to retrieve objects stored in vhost 
backends
- Minor additions to support the previous items (e.g. new test usecases).

This patch covers the required steps to add support for virtio cross-device 
resource sharing[1],
which support is already available in the kernel.

The main usecase will be sharing dma buffers from virtio-gpu devices (as the 
exporter
-see VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_RESOURCE_ASSIGN_UUID in [2]), to virtio-video (under 
discussion)
devices (as the buffer-user or importer). Therefore, even though virtio specs 
talk about
resources or objects[3], this patch adds the infrastructure with dma-bufs in 
mind.
Note that virtio specs let the devices themselves define what a vitio object is.

These are the main parts that are covered in the patch:

- Add hash function to uuid module
- Shared resources table, to hold all resources that can be shared in the host 
and their assigned UUID,
  or pointers to the backend holding the resource
- Internal shared table API for virtio devices to add, lookup and remove 
resources
- Unit test to verify the API
- New messages to the vhost-user protocol to allow backend to interact with the 
shared
  table API through the control socket
- New vhost-user feature bit to enable shared objects feature

Applies cleanly to 38a6de80b917b2a822cff0e38d83563ab401c890
