virtio_net: Add a set_rx_mode interface

Make use of the RX_MODE control virtqueue class to enable the
set_rx_mode netdev interface.  This allows us to selectively
enable/disable promiscuous and allmulti mode so we don't see
packets we don't want.  For now, we automatically enable these
as needed if additional unicast or multicast addresses are
requested.
