Use virtio-serial, remove other vmchannel methods.
This adds support for virtio-serial, and removes all other vmchannel methods. Virtio-serial is faster than other methods, and is now widely available. I tested this by using the guestfs_upload API on an 83 MB file: before: 6.12 seconds (14.1 MB/sec) after: 4.20 seconds (20.6 MB/sec) (note this is with the current 8K chunk size)
