net: add the support for -netdev socket, listen

The -net socket,listen option does not work with the newer -netdev
syntax:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2011-11/msg01508.html

This patch makes it work now.

For the case where one vlan has multiple listenning sockets,
the patch will also provide the support.

Supported syntax:
1.) -net socket,listen=127.0.0.1:1234,vlan=0
2.) -net socket,listen=127.0.0.1:1234,vlan=0 -net socket,listen=127.0.0.1:1235,vlan=0
3.) -netdev socket,listen=127.0.0.1:1234,id=socket0

Drop the NetSocketListenState struct and add a listen_fd field
to NetSocketState.  When a -netdev socket,listen= instance is created
there will be a NetSocketState with fd=-1 and a valid listen_fd.  The
net_socket_accept() handler waits for listen_fd to become readable and
then accepts the connection.  When this state transition happens, we no
longer monitor listen_fd for incoming connections...until the client
disconnects again.
