virtio-gpu api: multiple context types with explicit initialization
This feature allows for each virtio-gpu 3D context to be created with a "context_init" variable. This variable can specify: - the type of protocol used by the context via the capset id. This is useful for differentiating virgl, gfxstream, and venus protocols by host userspace. - other things in the future, such as the version of the context. In addition, each different context needs one or more timelines, so for example a virgl context's waiting can be independent on a gfxstream context's waiting. VIRTIO_GPU_FLAG_INFO_RING_IDX is introduced to specific to tell the host which per-context command ring (or "hardware queue", distinct from the virtio-queue) the fence should be associated with. The new capability sets (gfxstream, venus etc.) are only defined in the virtio-gpu spec and not defined in the header.
