Alexander Boettcher 23078154cd vbox: avoid blocking nic_ep thread
during receive the nic_ep may block as long as the guest does not provide
another receive network descriptor. In the meantime, all Genode signals
regarding the network interface, e.g. tx, will be postponed, which may
effect the throughput.

Instead use the nic_ep for rx packets unblocking. Add an notification mechanism
to the e1000 vbox network model, to notify us as soon as the guest added new
receive descriptors in the model.
