Allow setting NUMA distance for different NUMA nodes

This patch is going to add SLIT table support in QEMU, and provides additional option dist for command -numa to allow user set vNUMA distance by QEMU command.

With this patch, when a user wants to create a guest that contains several vNUMA nodes and also wants to set distance among those nodes, the QEMU command would like:

```
