bugfix: Graceful shutdown of VM

Cleanup phase of PVVP scenario sometimes causes server reboot.
Following updates were made to prevent reboots:
* sleep after VM OS shutdown allows QEMU to finish its own shutdown
procedure
* shared dir was mounted as read only to prevent its modification,
which sometimes causes delays during shutdown; Also warning messages
are causing CI jobs failures.

sriov: Support of SRIOV and Qemu PCI passthrough

Generic support of SRIOV has been added. Virtual interfaces can be
used in multiplei scenarios instead of physical NICs. Virtual
functions can be directly accessed from VM by PCI passthrough method.
Another option is to use VFs with vSwtich to evaluate impact
on performance.
Additonal modifications:
* Automatic detection of NIC details has been added to simplify
configuration.
* Obsoleted configuration options have been removed.
* Logging usage within vsperf script was fixed.
