perf trace beautify ioctl: Beautify vhost virtio ioctl's 'cmd' arg

Also trying a new approach, using a copy of uapi/linux/vhost.h we auto
generate the string tables, then include it in the ioctl cmd beautifier.

This way either the KVM developers will add the new commands to the
tools/ copy, like is happening with other areas of tools/include/ (bpf.h
comes to mind), or we'll be notified when building perf that our copy
drifted.

E.g., doing syswide tracing grepping for the newly beautified VHOST
ioctls:

  # perf trace -e ioctl 2>&1 | grep VHOST

^C

 '-e ioctl' uses tracepoint filters, in time this will be replaces by
eBPF filters hooked at the syscall tracepoints and that "grep VHOST"
will also be done with eBPF, right at the kernel, to reduce overhead.
