Virtio-net driver currently negotiates network offloads
on startup via features mechanism and have no ability to
disable and re-enable offloads later.
This patch introduced a new control command that allows
to configure device network offloads state dynamically.
The patch also introduces a new feature flag
VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS.
