Let's narrow down the limitation related to mbind() by allowing shared
mappings backed by a file backed by RAM. This leaves the restriction on
only for mappings backed by a regular file.
With this patch, host NUMA node can be specified even if using
vhost-user devices.

Relying on the new option 'host_numa_node' from the 'memory-zone'
parameter, the user can now define which NUMA node from the host
should be used to back the current memory zone.

Since memory zones have been introduced, it is now possible for a user
to specify multiple backends for the guest RAM. By adding a new option
'host_numa_node' to the 'memory-zone' parameter, we allow the guest RAM
to be backed by memory that might come from a specific NUMA node on the
host.
The option expects a node identifier, specifying which NUMA node should
be used to allocate the memory associated with a specific memory zone.

The flag 'mergeable' should only apply to the entire guest RAM, which is
why it is removed from the MemoryZoneConfig as it is defined as a global
parameter at the MemoryConfig level.

The 'cmdline' parameter should not be required as it is not needed when
the 'kernel' parameter is the rust-hypervisor-fw, which means the kernel
and the associated command line will be found from the EFI partition.

Factorize the codepath between simple memory and multiple memory zones.
This simplifies the way regions are memory mapped, as everything relies
on the same codepath. This is performed by creating a memory zone on the
fly for the specific use case where --memory is used with size being
different from 0. Internally, the code can rely on memory zones to
create the memory regions forming the guest memory.

After the introduction of user defined memory zones, we can now remove
the deprecated 'file' option from --memory parameter. This makes this
parameter simpler, letting more advanced users define their own custom
memory zones through the dedicated parameter.

User defined memory regions can now support being snapshot and restored,

By factorizing a lot of code into create_ram_region(), this commit
achieves the simplification of the restore codepath. Additionally, it
makes user defined memory zones compatible with snapshot/restore.

First thing, this patch introduces a new function to identify if a file
descriptor is linked to any hard link on the system. This can let the
VMM know if the file can be accessed by the user, or if the file will
be destroyed as soon as the VMM releases the file descriptor.
Based on this information, and associated with the knowledge about the
region being MAP_SHARED or not, the VMM can now decide to skip the copy
of the memory region content. If the user has access to the file from
the filesystem, and if the file has been mapped as MAP_SHARED, we can
consider the guest memory region content to be present in this file at
any point in time. That's why in this specific case, there's no need for
performing the copy of the memory region content into a dedicated file.

Let's not assume that a backing file is going to be the result from
a snapshot for each memory region. These regions might be backed by
a file on the host filesystem (not a temporary file in host RAM), which
means they don't need to be copied and stored into dedicated files.
That's why this commit prepares for further changes by introducing an
optional PathBuf associated with the snapshot of each memory region.

There will be some cases where the implementation of the snapshot()
function from the Snapshottable trait will require to modify some
internal data, therefore we make this possible by updating the trait
definition with snapshot(&mut self).

In case the memory size is 0, this means the user defined memory
zones are used as a way to specify how to back the guest memory.
This is the first step in supporting complex use cases where the user
can define exactly which type of memory from the host should back the
memory from the guest.

In case the provided backing file is an actual file and not a directory,
we should not truncate it, as we expect the file to already be the right
size.
This change will be important once we try to map the same file through
multiple memory mappings. We can't let the file be truncated as the
second mapping wouldn't work properly.

Cleanup of the Aarch64 machine can't be done as part of the parallel
stage as this is often skipped. When the build is aborted because
another parallel stage failed, the post actions are simply not
performed. That's why we need a dedicated stage, out of the parallel
ones, to cleanup the Aarch64 machine.
