vhost-net: disable when cross-endian

As of today, vhost assumes guest and host have the same endianness.
This is definitely not compatible with modern PPC64 and ARM that
can change endianness at runtime. Let's disable vhost-net and print
an error message when we detect such a case:

qemu-system-ppc64: vhost-net does not support cross-endian
qemu-system-ppc64: unable to start vhost net: 38: falling back on userspace virtio

This way users can continue to run VMs without changing their setup and
have a chance to know that performance will be impacted.
