Current, QEMU does not provide a clear command to set vNUMA distance for
guest although we already have `-numa` command to set vNUMA nodes.

vNUMA distance makes sense in certain scenario.
But now, if we create a guest that has 4 vNUMA nodes, when we check NUMA
info via `numactl -H`, we will see:

node distance:
node    0    1    2    3
  0:   10   20   20   20
  1:   20   10   20   20
  2:   20   20   10   20
  3:   20   20   20   10

Guest kernel regards all local node as distance 10, and all remote node
as distance 20 when there is no SLIT table since QEMU doesn't build it.
It looks like a little strange when you have seen the distance in an
actual physical machine that contains 4 NUMA nodes. My machine shows:

node distance:
node    0    1    2    3
  0:   10   21   31   41
  1:   21   10   21   31
  2:   31   21   10   21
  3:   41   31   21   10

To set vNUMA distance, guest should see a complete SLIT table.
I found QEMU has provide `-acpitable` command that allows users to add
a ACPI table into guest, but it requires users building ACPI table by
themselves first. Using `-acpitable` to add a SLIT table may be not so
straightforward or flexible, imagine that when the vNUMA configuration
is changes and we need to generate another SLIT table manually. It may
not be friendly to users or upper software like libvirt.

This patch is going to add SLIT table support in QEMU, and provides
additional option `dist` for command `-numa` to allow user set vNUMA
distance by QEMU command.

With this patch, when a user wants to create a guest that contains
several vNUMA nodes and also wants to set distance among those nodes,
the QEMU command would like:

```
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0 \
-numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=1 \
-numa node,nodeid=2,cpus=2 \
-numa node,nodeid=3,cpus=3 \
-numa dist,src=0,dst=0,val=10 \
-numa dist,src=0,dst=1,val=21 \
-numa dist,src=0,dst=2,val=31 \
-numa dist,src=0,dst=3,val=41 \
-numa dist,src=1,dst=0,val=21 \
-numa dist,src=1,dst=1,val=10 \
-numa dist,src=1,dst=2,val=21 \
-numa dist,src=1,dst=3,val=31 \
-numa dist,src=2,dst=0,val=31 \
-numa dist,src=2,dst=1,val=21 \
-numa dist,src=2,dst=2,val=10 \
-numa dist,src=2,dst=3,val=21 \
-numa dist,src=3,dst=0,val=41 \
-numa dist,src=3,dst=1,val=31 \
-numa dist,src=3,dst=2,val=21 \
-numa dist,src=3,dst=3,val=10 \
```
