nvme-tcp: add NVMe over TCP host driver

This patch implements the NVMe over TCP host driver. It can be used to
connect to remote NVMe over Fabrics subsystems over good old TCP/IP.

The driver implements the TP 8000 of how nvme over fabrics capsules and
data are encapsulated in nvme-tcp pdus and exchaged on top of a TCP byte
stream. nvme-tcp header and data digest are supported as well.

To connect to all NVMe over Fabrics controllers reachable on a given taget
port over TCP use the following command:

	nvme connect-all -t tcp -a $IPADDR

This requires the latest version of nvme-cli with TCP support.

This provides support for the NVMe over Fabrics protocol using
the TCP transport. This allows you to use remote block devices
exported using the NVMe protocol set.
To configure a NVMe over Fabrics controller use the nvme-cli tool
from https://github.com/linux-nvme/nvme-cli.
