vfio/pci: Make vfio cdev pre-openable by passing a file handle
This gives management tools like libvirt a chance to open the vfio cdev with privilege and pass FD to qemu. This way qemu never needs to have privilege to open a VFIO or iommu cdev node. Together with the earlier support of pre-opening /dev/iommu device, now we have full support of passing a vfio device to unprivileged qemu by management tool. This mode is no more considered for the legacy backend. So let's remove the "TODO" comment. Add helper functions vfio_device_set_fd() and vfio_device_get_name() to set fd and get device name, they will also be used by other vfio devices. There is no easy way to check if a device is mdev with FD passing, so fail the x-balloon-allowed check unconditionally in this case. There is also no easy way to get BDF as name with FD passing, so we fake a name by VFIO_FD[fd].
