A blob resource is a container for:
- VIRGL_RENDERER_BLOB_MEM_GUEST: a guest memory allocation
(referred to as a "guest-only blob resource")
- VIRGL_RENDERER_BLOB_MEM_HOST3D: a host3d memory allocation
(referred to as a "host-only blob resource")
- VIRGL_RENDERER_BLOB_MEM_HOST3D_GUEST: a guest + host3d memory allocation
(referred to as a "default blob resource").
Blob resources can be used to implement new features and fix shortcomings
with the current resource create path. The subsequent patches show how
blob resources may be leveraged to implement GL_ARB_buffer_storage
and GL4.5.

Add and use virgl_resource_{attach,detach}_iov.
When the iov of a virgl_resource is changed, we should in theory
notify all contexts where the virgl_resource has been attached to.
But because we plan to move to immutable iov for other renderers,
only vrend contexts need to be notified. And because vrend contexts
use vrend_resource and refcount, we only need to update
vrend_resource.

Add virgl_resource as the type of global cross-renderer resources.
A virgl_resource cannot be used in a renderer context directly.
After a virgl_resource is attached to a renderer context, a local
context object can be created from the virgl_resource. This is
known as "import". A renderer context always imports global
resources and deals with context objects exclusively.
It is also possible to create a virgl_resource from a context
object. This is known as "export". Whether import or export, the
global resource and the context object have independent lifetimes.
There is only GL renderer right now, and the context object for GL
renderer is vrend_resource. Importing from virgl_resource or
exporting to virgl_resource is a matter of increasing the refcount
of vrend_resource. It is fast but can be a bit confusing.
In the future, a virgl_resource can be from a different source
(e.g., VK renderer or an external dmabuf). Importing such a
virgl_resource as a vrend_resource will entail more works.
