The proper way to refer to the project is "Cloud Hypervisor" without the
hyphen in the middle. On the other hand, if one refers to the binary
name, it is "cloud-hypervisor".

The elements of a list should be using commas as the correct delimiter
now that it is supported. Deprecate use of colons as delimiter.

It is forbidden that the same memory zone belongs to more than one
NUMA node. This commit adds related validation to the `--numa`
parameter to prevent the user from specifying such configuration.

Add missing option of hugepage_size in argument of memory,
and add some details about lacking huge pages.

This new option allows the user to define a list of SGX EPC sections
attached to a specific NUMA node.

Make sure the unique PCI bus is tied to the default NUMA node 0, and
update the documentation to let the users know about this special case.

Including a warning that the user is respsonsible for ensuring that they
have sufficient pages of the specified size.

The standalone `--balloon` parameter being fully functional at this
point, we can get rid of the balloon options from the --memory
parameter.

Add the new option 'hotplugged_size' to both --memory-zone and --memory
parameters so that we can let the user specify a certain amount of
memory being plugged at boot.
This is also part of making sure we can store the virtio-mem size over a
reboot of the VM.

In anticipation for resizing support of an individual memory zone,
this commit introduces a new option 'hotplug_size' to '--memory-zone'
parameter. This defines the amount of memory that can be added through
each specific memory zone.
Because memory zone resize is tied to virtio-mem, make sure the user
selects 'virtio-mem' hotplug method, otherwise return an error.

The goal of this commit is to rename the existing NUMA option 'id' with
'guest_numa_id'. This is done without any modification to the way this
option behaves.
The reason for the rename is caused by the observation that all other
parameters with an option called 'id' expect a string to be provided.
Because in this particular case we expect a u32 representing a proximity
domain from the ACPI specification, it's better to name it with a more
explicit name.

Based on the recent changes regarding how to describe NUMA nodes to the
guest, the documentation related to memory zones and NUMA has been
updated accordingly.
