ixd: add the core initialization

Browse source 
As the mailbox is setup, initialize the core. This makes use of the send
and receive mailbox message framework for virtchnl communication between
the driver and device Control Plane (CP).

To start with, driver confirms the virtchnl version with the CP. Once that
is done, it requests and gets the required capabilities and resources
needed such as max vectors, queues, vports etc.

Use a unified way of handling the virtchnl messages, where a single
function handles all related memory management and the caller only provides
the callbacks to fill the send buffer and to handle the response.

Place generic control queue message handling separately to facilitate the
addition of protocols other than virtchannel in the future.
