Re-adds VIF_TYPE_VHOST_USER to portbindings extension

- This change re-adds the definition of the VIF_TYPE_VHOST_USER
  constant to the neuton portbinding extension.
- This change enables reuse of a single common VIF_TYPE_VHOST_USER
  constant between all agents and mechanism drivers that wish
  to support the qemu vhost-user interface type.
