Having the virtual IOMMU created with --iommu is one thing, but we also
need a way to decide if a virtio-pmem device should be attached to this
virtual IOMMU or not. That's why we introduce an extra option "iommu"
with the value "on" or "off". By default, the device is not attached,
which means "iommu=off".

Having the virtual IOMMU created with --iommu is one thing, but we also
need a way to decide if a virtio-blk device should be attached to this
virtual IOMMU or not. That's why we introduce an extra option "iommu"
with the value "on" or "off". By default, the device is not attached,
which means "iommu=off".
One side effect of this new option is that we had to introduce a new
option for the disk path, simply called "path=".

Adding a simple iommu boolean field to the VmConfig structure so that we
can later use it to create a virtio-iommu device for the current VM.

We used to have errors definitions spread across vmm, vm, api,
and http.
We now have a cleaner separation: All API routines only return an
ApiResult. All VM operations, including the VMM wrappers, return a
VmResult. This makes it easier to carry errors up to the HTTP caller.

In order to support further use cases where a VM configuration could be
modified through the HTTP API, we only store the passed VM config when
being asked to create a VM. The actual creation will happen when booting
a new config for the first time.

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.

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

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.
