Add an I2C bus driver for virtio para-virtualization.

The controller can be emulated by the backend driver in
any device model software by following the virtio protocol.

The device specification can be found on
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/202101/msg00008.html.

By following the specification, people may implement different
backend drivers to emulate different controllers according to
their needs.

Changes v13 -> v14
	- Put the headers in virtio_i2c.h in alphabetical order.
	- Dropped I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_QUICK support.
	- Dropped few unnecessary variables and checks.
	- Use "num" everywhere instead of num or nr, to be consistent.
	- Added few comments which make the design more clear. 
Wolfram,

Is it still possible to queue this for 5.14 ?
No new features are allowed for 5.14, you know this.  It's but fixes
only now.

thanks,
