The parsing is now O(1) as we only consider each character in the input
once and further it removes the need for allocating memory for
reassembling the option parameter.

This is particularly helpful as the cloud-init DMI serial number
encoding scheme uses "=" and ";" for key value pairs.

Rust 2021 edition has a few improvements over the 2018 edition. Migrate
the project to 2021 edition by following recommended migration steps.
Luckily, the code itself doesn't require fixing.
Bump MSRV to 1.56 as it is required by the 2021 edition. Also fix the
clap build dependency to make Cloud Hypervisor build again.

AMX is an x86 extension adding hardware units for matrix
operations (int and float dot products). The goal of the extension is
to provide performance enhancements for these common operations.
On Linux, AMX requires requesting the permission from the kernel prior
to use. Guests wanting to make use of the feature need to have the
request made prior to starting the vm.
This change then adds the first --cpus features option amx that when
passed will enable AMX usage for guests (needs a 5.17+ kernel) or
exits with failure.
The activation is done in the CpuManager of the VMM thread as it
allows migration and snapshot/restore to work fairly painlessly for
AMX enabled workloads.

Give the option parser the ability to handle tuples with inner brackets
containing list of integers. The following example can now be handled
correctly "option=[key@[v1-v2,v3,v4]]" which means the option is
assigned a tuple with a key associated with a list of integers between
the range v1 - v2, as well as v3 and v4.

Creates a new generic type Tuple so that the same implementation of
FromStr trait can be reused for both parsing a list of two integers and
parsing a list of one integer associated with a list of integers.
This anticipates the need for retrieving sublists, which will be needed
when trying to describe the host CPU affinity for every vCPU.

In case we want to implement a type that would hold a list of lists, we
need the option parser to be able to ignore the commas for multiple
layers of brackets.

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

While parsing each parameter for getting the list of option/value, we
check if the value is a list separated between brackets. If that's the
case, we reconstruct the list so that it can be parsed afterwards, even
though it uses commas for separating each value.

This new option provides a new way to describe the memory associated
with a NUMA node. This is the first step before we can remove the
'guest_numa_node' option from the --memory-zone parameter.

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').

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

Remove the vmm dependency from vhost_user_block and vhost_user_net where
it was existing to use config::OptionParser. By moving the OptionParser
to its own crate at the top-level we can remove the very heavy
dependency that these vhost-user backends had.
