Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] vduse: Add API v2 definition

Introduce the definition for VDUSE API V2.  This version serves as a
gateway for feature negotiation.

The kernel uses this version to determine if the userspace device
supports feature flags. Devices that do not explicitly negotiate API V2
will be blocked from querying available VDUSE features, ensuring
backward compatibility.

The next patches implement the new feature incrementally, only enabling
the VDUSE device to set the V2 API version by the end of the series.
