1b1a2175ca vm-migration: Define the Snapshottable and Transportable traits
A Snapshottable component can snapshot itself and
provide a MigrationSnapshot payload as a result.

A MigrationSnapshot payload is a map of component IDs to a list of
migration sections (MigrationSection). As component can be made of
several Migratable sub-components (e.g. the DeviceManager and its
device objects), a migration snapshot can be made of multiple snapshot
itself.
A snapshot is a list of migration sections, each section being a
component state snapshot. Having multiple sections allows for easier and
backward compatible migration payload extensions.

Once created, a migratable component snapshot may be transported and this
is what the Transportable trait defines, through 2 methods: send and recv.
