Cloud Hypervisor IPC is a simple, mpsc based protocol for threads to
send command to the furture VMM thread. This patch adds the API
definition for that IPC, which will be used by both the main thread
to e.g. start a new VM based on the CLI arguments and the future HTTP
server to relay external requests received from a local Unix domain
socket.
We are moving it to its own "api" module because this is where the
external API (HTTP based) will also be implemented.
The VMM thread will be listening for IPC requests from an mpsc receiver,
process them and send a response back through another mpsc channel.

As we're going to move the control loop to the VMM thread, the exit and
reset EventFds are no longer going to be owned by the VM.
We pass a copy of them when creating the Vm instead.

In order to transfer the control loop to a separate VMM thread, we want
to shrink the VM control loop to a bare minimum.

Once passed to the VM creation routine, a VmConfig structure is
immutable. We can simply carry a Arc of it instead of a reference.
This also allows us to remove any lifetime bound from our VM.

The Vmm structure is just a placeholder for the KVM instance. We can
create it directly from the VM creation routine instead.

We can integrate the kernel loading into the VM start method.
The VM start flow is then: Vm::new() -> vm.start(), which feels more
natural.

With ACPI disabled there is no way to support both reset and shutdown so
make the VMM exit if the VM is rebootet (via i8042 or triple-fault
reset.)

Refactor out DeviceManager into it's own file. This is part of a bigger
effort to reduce complexity in the vm.rs file but will also allow future
separation to allow making PCI support optional.

Being able to reboot requires us to identify all the resources we are
leaking and cleaning those up before we can enable reboot. For now if
the user requests a reboot then shutdown instead.

Add a 2nd EventFd to the VM to control resetting (rebooting) the VM this
supplements the EventFd used for managing shutdown of the VM.
The default behaviour on i8042 or triple-fault based reset is currently
unchanged i.e. it will trigger a shutdown.
In order to support restarting the VM it was necessary to make start()
function take a reference to the config.

The command line parsing of the user input was not properly
abstracted from the vmm specific code. In the case of --net,
the parsing was done when the device manager was adding devices.
In order to fix this confusion, this patch introduces a new
module "config" dedicated to the translation of a VmParams
structure into a VmCfg structure. The former is built based
on the input provided by the user, while the latter is the
result of the parsing of every options.
VmCfg is meant to be consumed by the vmm specific code, and
it is also a fully public structure so that it can directly
be built from a testing environment.

Based on the Firecracker devices crate from commit 9cdb5b2.
It is a trimmed down version compared to the Firecracker one, to remove
a bunch of pulled dependencies (logger, metrics, rate limiter, etc...).
