The linux_loader crate Cmdline struct is not serializable.
Instead of forcing the upstream create to carry a serde dependency, we
simply use a String for the passed command line and build the actual
CmdLine when we need it (in vm::new()).
Also, the cmdline offset is not a configuration knob, so we remove it.

The kernel path was the only mandatory command line option.
With the addition of the --api-socket option, we can run without a
kernel path and get it later through the API.
Since we can end up with VM configurations that are no longer valid by
default, we need to provide a validation check for it. For now, if the
kernel path is not defined, the VM configuration is invalid.

Using the existing layout module start documenting the major regions of
RAM and those areas that are reserved. Some of the constants have also
been renamed to be more consistent and some functions that returned
constant variables have been replaced.
Future commits will move more constants into this file to make it the
canonical source of information about the memory layout.

We now start the main VMM thread, which will be listening for VM and IPC

In order to start the configured VM, we no longer directly call the VM

Rather than sending a signal to the signal handler used for handling

Following the refactoring of the code allowing multiple threads to
access the same instance of the guest memory, this patch goes one step
further by adding RwLock to it. This anticipates the future need for
being able to modify the content of the guest memory at runtime.
The reasons for adding regions to an existing guest memory could be:
- Add virtio-pmem and virtio-fs regions after the guest memory was
created.
- Support future hotplug of devices, memory, or anything that would
require more memory at runtime.
Because most of the time, the lock will be taken as read only, using
RwLock instead of Mutex is the right approach.

The VMM guest memory was cloned (copied) everywhere the code needed to
have ownership of it. In order to clean the code, and in anticipation
for future support of modifying this guest memory instance at runtime,
it is important that every part of the code share the same instance.
Because VirtioDevice implementations need to have access to it from
different threads, that's why Arc must be used in this case.

One of the features of the virtio console device is its size can be
configured and updated. Our first iteration of the console device
implementation is lack of this feature. As a result, it had a
default fixed size which could not be changed. This commit implements
the console config feature and lets us change the console size from
the vmm side.
During the activation of the device, vmm reads the current terminal
size, sets the console configuration accordinly, and lets the driver
know about this configuration by sending an interrupt. Later, if
someone changes the terminal size, the vmm detects the corresponding
event, updates the configuration, and sends interrupt as before. As a
result, the console device driver, in the guest, updates the console
size.
