This series Introduces import verbs for device, PD, MR which enables processes
to share their ibv_context and then share PD(s) and MR(s) that are associated
with.

This functionality enables utilizing and optimizing some application flows, few
examples below.

Any solution which is a single business logic based on multi-process design
needs this. Example include NGINX, with TCP load balancing, sharing the RSS
indirection table with RQ per process. HPC frameworks with multi-rank (process)
solution on single hosts. UCX can share IB resources using the shared PD and
can help dispatch data to multiple processes/MR's in single RDMA operation.
Also, there are use cases when a primary processes registered a large shared
memory range, and each worker process spawned will create a private QP on the
shared PD, and use the shared MR to save the registration time per-process.

As part of this series was added also some pyverbs stuff to support and
demonstrate some usage of the APIs.

The verbs APIs were introduced in the mailing list by the below RFC [1], the
matching kernel series was sent to rdma-next,

PR: https://github.com/linux-rdma/rdma-core/pull/776
[1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11540665/

Changes from V0:
- Replace ordering of patches #3 and #4 to prevent incomplete functionality.
- Added some note as part of ibv_import_device() to explain why it's safe
  for dissociated flow.
- Improve man pages in some places.
- Drop the IOVA attribute setting which was not really in use.
- Fix some style notes.
- Refer in commit messages to ioctl command instead of KABI.
