virtio-iommu: Default to bypass during boot
Currently the virtio-iommu device must be programmed before it allows
DMA from any PCI device. This can make the VM entirely unusable when a
virtio-iommu driver isn't present, for example in a bootloader that
loads the OS from storage.

Similarly to the other vIOMMU implementations, default to DMA bypassing
the IOMMU during boot. Add a "boot-bypass" property, defaulting to true,
that lets users change this behavior.

Replace the VIRTIO_IOMMU_F_BYPASS feature, which didn't support bypass
before feature negotiation, with VIRTIO_IOMMU_F_BYPASS_CONFIG.

We add the bypass field to the migration stream without introducing
subsections, based on the assumption that this virtio-iommu device isn't
being used in production enough to require cross-version migration at
the moment (all previous version required workarounds since they didn't
support ACPI and boot-bypass).
