101. vhost/virtio-user loopback with multi-queues test plan

This test plan test vhost/virtio-user loopback multi-queues with split virtqueue and packed virtqueue different rx/tx paths, includes split virtqueue in-order mergeable, in-order non-mergeable, mergeable, non-mergeable, vector_rx path test, and packed virtqueue in-order mergeable, in-order non-mergeable, mergeable, non-mergeable path. And virtio-user support 8 queues in maximum, check performance could be linear growth when enable 8 queues and 8 cores, notice cores should in same socket.

101.1. Test Case 1: loopback with virtio 1.1 mergeable path using 1 queue and 8 queues
