And an InstructionMap helper structure to map x86 mnemonic codes
to instruction handlers.
Any instruction emulation implementation should then boil down with
implementing InstructionHandler for any supported mnemonic.

Minimal will be defined by the amount of emulated instructions.
Carrying all GPRs, all CRs, segment registers and table registers should
cover quite a few instructions.

For efficiently emulating x86 instructions, we need to build and pass a
CPU state copy/reference to instruction emulation handlers. Those handlers
will typically modify the CPU state and let the caller commit those
changes back through the PlatformEmulator trait set_cpu_state method.
Hypervisors typically have internal CPU state structures, that maps back
to the correspinding kernel APIs. By implementing the CpuState trait,
instruction emulators will be able to directly work on CPU state
instances that are directly consumable by the underlying hypervisor and
its kernel APIs.

In order to emulate instructions, we need a way to get access to some of
the guest resources. The PlatformEmulator interface provides guest
memory and CPU state access to emulator implementations.
Typically, an hypervisor will implement PlatformEmulator for architecture
specific instruction emulators to build their framework on top of.

We will need the GDT API for the hypervisor's x86 instruction
emulator implementation, it's better if the arch crate depends on the
hypervisor one rather than the other way around.

Initially the licensing was just Apache-2.0. This patch changes
the licensing to dual license Apache-2.0 OR BSD-3-Clause

Implement the vCPU state getter and setter separately from the initial
KVM Hypervisor trait implementation, mostly for readability purposes.

For each of the traits we are defining kvm related structures
and add the trait implementation to the structs. For more information
please see the kvm-ioctls and kvm-bindings crate.
This is a standalone implementation that does not include the switch of
the Cloud-Hypervisor vmm and arch crates to it.
