docs: vhost-user: replace master/slave with front-end/back-end

This matches the nomenclature that is generally used.  Also commonly used
is client/server, but it is not as clear because sometimes the front-end
exposes a passive (server) socket that the back-end connects to.

The vhost-user-gpu protocol is aiming at sharing the rendering result
of a virtio-gpu, done from a vhost-user slave process to a vhost-user
master process (such as QEMU). It bears a resemblance to a display
of a virtio-gpu, done from a vhost-user back-end process to a vhost-user
front-end process (such as QEMU). It bears a resemblance to a display
server protocol, if you consider QEMU as the display server and the
slave as the client, but in a very limited way. Typically, it will
back-end as the client, but in a very limited way. Typically, it will
work by setting a scanout/display configuration, before sending flush
events for the display updates. It will also update the cursor shape
and position.
