um: Support dynamic IRQ allocation
It's cumbersome and error-prone to keep adding fixed IRQ numbers, and for proper device wakeup support for the virtio/vhost-user support we need to have different IRQs for each device. Even if in theory two IRQs (with and without wake) might be sufficient, it's much easier to reason about it when we have dynamic number assignment. It also makes it easier to add new devices that may dynamically exist or depending on the configuration, etc. Add support for this, up to 64 IRQs (the same limit as epoll FDs we have right now). Since it's not easy to port all the existing places to dynamic allocation (some data is statically initialized) keep the low numbers are reserved for the existing hard-coded IRQ numbers.
