Add VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF to virtio-net

Changes

Add VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF to virtio-net.

Now virtio-net device can split incoming packets across multiple descriptor chains if VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF is enabled by the guest. The amount of descriptor chains (also known as heads) is written into the virtio_net_hdr_v1 structure which is located at the very begging of the packet. Virtio spec states that the number of heads used should always be correct:

• 1 - if VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF is not negotiated
• N - if VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF is negotiated Prior to this commit Firecracker never set the number of used heads to 1, but Linux was fine with it. Now we always set correct number of heads. Because of this some changes were introduced into the unit test code that was generating testing frames.

Fixes: #1314

Reason

Better performance and guest memory utilization.
