In anticipation for allowing memory zones to be removed, but also in
anticipation for refactoring NUMA parameter, we introduce a mandatory
'id' option to the --memory-zone parameter.
This forces the user to provide a unique identifier for each memory zone
so that we can refer to these.

Rearrange the code to match other devices which makes it easier to prep

Move the if-let for the taps later which makes the earlier activation

Introduce VirtioCommon to help remove duplicated functionality and state
between implementations of VirtioDevice. Initially it is only handling
feature acknowledgement and testing.

This patch ported many tests to the new methodology, where the guest log
will be printed only when the test is failing.
Things to finish in follow-up PRs:
1. Special tests not ported yet include: test_reboot,
test_bzimage_reboot, test_serial_null(), test_serial_tty(),
test_serial_file(), test_virtio_console(), test_console_file(),
and test_simple_launch.
2. Few direct calls to 'Command::new(clh_command("cloud-hypervisor"))',
which is still printing the guest console

By extending the existing NUMA integration test, this commit validates
the proper distances between NUMA nodes are exposed to the guest.

By introducing the SLIT (System Locality Distance Information Table), we
provide the guest with the distance between each node. This lets the
user describe the NUMA topology with a lot of details so that slower
memory backing the VM can be exposed as being further away from other
nodes.

Based on the NumaConfig which now provides distance information, we can
internally update the list of NUMA nodes with the exact distances they
should be located from other nodes.

By introducing 'distances' option, we let the user describe a list of
destination NUMA nodes with their associated distances compared to the
current node (defined through 'id').

Based on the list of CPUs related to each NUMA node, Processor Local
x2APIC Affinity structures are created and included into the SRAT table.
This describes which CPUs are part of each node.

Relying on the list of CPUs defined through the NumaConfig, this patch
will update the internal list of CPUs attached to each NUMA node.

Through this new parameter, we give users the opportunity to specify a
set of CPUs attached to a NUMA node that has been previously created
from the --memory-zone parameter.
This parameter will be extended in the future to describe the distance
between multiple nodes.
For instance, if a user wants to attach CPUs 0, 1, 2 and 6 to a NUMA
node, here are two different ways of doing so:
Either
./cloud-hypervisor ... --numa id=0,cpus=0-2:6
Or
./cloud-hypervisor ... --numa id=0,cpus=0:1:2:6

This new test validates the guest OS can find the NUMA nodes which have
been defined by the user through the CLI, and that the right amount of
memory is associated with each node.
