Implement support for SR-IOV (direct PCI passthrough) virtual NICs inside VMs.

This is a 3 stage process:

Ensure Nodes can be configured with SR-IOV devices on a per-node basis (in pvcnoded.yaml) and that these devices are configured during pvcnoded startup.
Ensure SR-IOV PFs and VFs are stored in Zookeeper, and that VF configuration can be managed via the API (e.g. setting vLANs, states, TX rates, etc.).
Add support for adding NICs to VMs of the SR-IOV types (either macvtap or hostdev), and properly handle the situations involving hostdev types (e.g. preventing live migration).

Steps 1 and 2 are mostly done; the second implied half of 2 (to add API support for managing a VF config) is next up.
