There are going to be multiple IOMMUs per a container. This moves
the single host IOMMU parameter set to a list of VFIOHostIOMMU.

This should cause no behavioral change and will be used later by
the SPAPR TCE IOMMU v2 which will also add a vfio_host_iommu_del() helper.

This looks ok except for the name.  Calling each window a separate
"host IOMMU" is misleading.  The different windows the container
supports might be implemented by different IOMMUs on the host side, or
it might be implemented by one IOMMU with multiple tables.

Better to call them host DMA windows, or maybe container DMA windows.



VFIOHostDMAWindow it is then.
