vfio/pci: Use the struct file as the handle not the vfio_group

VFIO PCI does a security check as part of hot reset to prove that the user
has permission to manipulate all the devices that will be impacted by the
reset.

Use a new API vfio_file_has_dev() to perform this security check against
the struct file directly and remove the vfio_group from VFIO PCI.

Since VFIO PCI was the last user of vfio_group_get_external_user() and
vfio_group_put_external_user() remove it as well.
