34412c9b41 vmm: Add id option to VFIO hotplug
Add a new id option to the VFIO hotplug command so that it matches the
VFIO coldplug semantic.

This is done by refactoring the existing code for VFIO hotplug, where
VmAddDeviceData structure is replaced by DeviceConfig. This structure is
the one used whenever a VFIO device is coldplugged, which is why it
makes sense to reuse it for the hotplug codepath.

9023444ad3 vmm: Add id field to --device through CLI
Add the ability to specify the "id" associated with a device, by adding
an extra option to the parameter --device.

This new option is not mandatory, and by default, the VMM will take care
of finding a unique identifier.

If the identifier provided by the user through this new option is not
unique, an error will be thrown and the VM won't be started.

Fixes #881

d2f1749edb vmm: config: Add poll_queue property to DiskConfig
Recently, vhost_user_block gained the ability of actively polling the
queue, a feature that can be disabled with the poll_queue property.

This change adds this property to DiskConfig, so it can be used
through the "disk" argument.

For the moment, it can only be used when vhost_user=true, but this
will change once virtio-block gets the poll_queue feature too.

64c5e3d8cb vmm: api: Adjust FsConfig for OpenAPI
The FsConfig structure has been recently adjusted so that the default
value matches between OpenAPI and CLI. Unfortunately, with the current
description, there is no way from the OpenAPI to describe a cache_size
value "None", so that DAX does not get enabled. Usually, using a Rust
"Option" works because the default value is None. But in this case, the
default value is Some(8G), which means we cannot describe a None.

This commit tackles the problem, introducing an explicit parameter
"dax", and leaving "cache_size" as a simple u64 integer.

This way, the default value is dax=true and cache_size=8G, but it lets
the opportunity to disable DAX entirely with dax=false, which will
simply ignore the cache_size value.

defc5dcd9c vmm: api: Modify FsConfig to be OpenAPI friendly
When consumer of the HTTP API try to interact with cloud-hypervisor,
they have to provide the equivalent of the config structure related to
each component they need. Problem is, the Rust enum type "Option" cannot
be obtained from the OpenAPI YAML definition.

This patch intends to fix this inconsistency between what is possible
through the CLI and what's possible through the HTTP API by using simple
types bool and int64 instead of Option<u64>.

To match the OpenAPI description. And also to map the real life
terminology.

ce0b475ef7 vmm: Move the VM creation and startup helpers to the api module
They're API wrappers, not VMM ones.

2371325f9c vmm: api: Add HTTP server
The Cloud Hyper HTTP server runs a synchronous, multi-threaded
loop that receives HTTP requests and tries to call the corresponding
endpoint handlers for the requests URIs.

An endpoint handler will parse the HTTP request and potentially
translate it into and IPC request. The handler holds an notifier and an
mspc Sender for respectively notifying and sending the IPC payload to
the VMM API server. The handler then waits for an API server response
and translate it back into an HTTP response.
The HTTP server is responsible for sending the reponse back to the
caller.

The HTTP server uses a static routes hash table that maps URIs to
endpoint handlers.

8916dad2da vmm: api: Add cloud-hypervisor OpenAPI documentation
The cloud-hypervisor API uses HTTP as a transport and is accessible
through a local UNIX socket.

The API root path is /api/v1 and is a collection of RPC-style methods.
All methods are static, unlike typical REST APIs. Variable (e.g. device
IDs) are passed through the request body.

Fixes: #244

03ab6839c1 vmm: Introduce Cloud Hypervisor IPC
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.
