Enable VHOST_USER_GET_CONFIG/VHOST_USER_SET_CONFIG messages in
libvhost-user library, users can implement their own I/O target
based on the library. This enable the virtio config space delivered
between QEMU host device and the I/O target.

None of the other messages in libvhost-user support the REPLY_ACK
flag. Do you need it? If not, please drop it.

If you need it, it's a better idea to make the reply explicit and
mandatory in the protocol for SET_CONFIG.
