virtio: console: Add file operations to ports for open/read/write/poll

Allow guest userspace applications to open, read from, write to, poll
the ports via the char dev interface.

When a port gets opened, a notification is sent to the host via a
control message indicating a connection has been established. Similarly,
on closing of the port, a notification is sent indicating disconnection.
