[v3] virtio-net: Add initial MTU advice feature

This commit adds the feature bit and associated mtu device entry for the
virtio network device.  When a virtio device comes up, it checks the
feature bit for the VIRTIO_NET_F_MTU feature.  If such feature bit is
enabled, the driver will read the advised MTU and use it as the initial
value.

v2->v3:
* Added a check for the MTU, and a bit clear for it being out of range.

Oops I just notices this conflicts with virtio spec which says
devices must only use features up to 24.
Please post a follow-up patch changing this to bit 3.
