Hi all!

Here is a new migration parameter "local", which allows to
enable local migration of TAP virtio-net backend (and maybe other
devices and backends in future), including its properties and open
fds.

With this new option, management software doesn't need to initialize
new TAP and do a switch to it. Nothing should be done around
virtio-net in local migration: it just migrates and continues to use
same TAP device. So we avoid extra logic in management software, extra
allocations in kernel (for new TAP), and corresponding extra delay in
migration downtime.

v12:
03: reword @local description, add r-b by Peter
06: fix handling script= and downscript=
08: use net namespace to separate test networking
    from the host, other small changes
