msix: Introduce vector notifiers

Vector notifiers shall be triggered by the MSI/MSI-X core whenever a
relevant configuration change is programmed by the guest. In case of
MSI-X, changes are reported when the effective mask (global &&
per-vector) alters its state. On unmask, the current vector
configuration is included in the event report. This allows users - e.g.
virtio-pci layer - to transfer this information to external MSI-X
routing subsystems - like vhost + KVM in-kernel irqchip.

This implementation only provides MSI-X support, but extension to MSI is
feasible and will be provided later on when adding support for KVM PCI
device assignment.
