2ec62db5f7 crosvm: reduce excess chatter with plugin
This change helps to improve performance in plugin communications by
removing unnecessary communication exchange.

The existing protocol basically requires the plugin to send a request
msg and wait for a reply msg.  Prior to this change a plugin had to send
a wait request before it got a wait reply (which typically contains an IO
event notication). Similarly, when the plugin sends a resume request
there's also a resume reply that's sent.

The reply to the resume message serves no worthwhile purpose and can be
removed. In the common case there's also no need for the plugin to send
a wait request message--the prior operation was a resume so both sides
know that the only next legal operation is a wait.  Thereforce, crosvm
can send a wait reply message without waiting for the plugin's request.

Another way to look at the situation is that a resume request message is
now answered by a wait reply message, and the overall message exchange
pattern looks less like http and more like async I/O.

The plugin's first call to wait is the one time that a wait request is
sent.  This in turn will receive an wait-init reply.

TEST=Ran my diagnostic plugin and confirmed that it still passes (after
working around an 8-byte limitation in crosvm).  Run my benchmarking
plugin and observed the time it takes to complete go down by 16.5%.
BUG=None

5c4ad02dd4 crosvm_plugin: Remove underscores in variable name
Remove the double underscore in front of `__has_extension` in crosvm.h.
Double underscores in identifiers are reserved for the compiler's
internal use and as it so happens, `__has_extension` is a macro that
clang defines for code to determine whether the compiler supports a
given feature.

We shouldn't be using double underscores in any of the variable names in
this header file but for now just fix the problematic one so that the
code can actually compile under clang.

BUG=b:80150167
TEST=Compile one of the test plugins with clang
