this series adds a new phase to the guest hookscript that is called for each
passed throug pci device after it's prepared, but before the qemu process is
started.
See the qemu-server commit for why that is interesting.

sometimes we may want to call the hookscript with additional parameters
in some phases, e.g. we want to call it for each pci device that was
prepared before starting with the correct uuid or pci id.

There are situations where a user might want to do extra things
for a passed through PCI device after it has been prepared/created (e.g.
in case of vGPU/mdev) but before the actual QEMU process is started.
Two examples are (both are used with NVIDIA vGPUs):
* setting 'vgpu_params' such as removing the frame-rate-limiter
* setting the gpu_instance_id for MIG devices
So instead of creating (nvidia-specific) interfaces for these, give a
user the ability to do it themselves via the hookscript as a first step.
Call it for each prepared device, so that we can give the hookscript the
'hostpciX' id, and the used uuid (in case of mdevs) or the pci id (in
case of regular or modern vGPU passthrough).
Include the generated mdev uuid in the return value of
`prepare_pci_device`, to avoid having to generate that multiple times.
With that we can get rid of one extra generation here too.

qemu-server has a new phase 'post-pci-prepare' that is called for vms
with pci passthrough for each device prepared.
add that to the example hookscript and explain when it's called and it's
parameters with a comment.
