Since the devices behind the IOMMU cannot be changed at runtime we offer
the ability to place all devices on user chosen segments behind the
IOMMU. This allows the hotplugging of devices behind the IOMMU provided
that they are assigned to a segment that is located behind the iommu.

Introducing a new integration test relying on the virtio-balloon ability
to free host pages that have been reported as freed by the guest.
This test checks that after consuming a lot of RAM in the guest, the VMM
process is able to releases the pages reported by the guest. Simply done
by checking the RSS associated with the VMM's process follows the memory
trend in the guest.

Implement the VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_REPORTING feature, indicating to the
guest it can report set of free pages. A new virtqueue dedicated for
receiving the information about the free pages is created. The VMM
releases the memory by punching holes with fallocate() if the guest
memory is backed by a file, and madvise() the host about the ranges of
memory that shouldn't be needed anymore.

Adding a new parameter free_page_reporting=on|off to the balloon device
so that we can enable the corresponding feature from virtio-balloon.
Running a VM with a balloon device where this feature is enabled allows
the guest to report pages that are free from guest's perspective. This
information is used by the VMM to release the corresponding pages on the
host.

In order to allow for human readable output for the VM configuration, we
pull it out of the snapshot, which becomes effectively the list of
states from the VM. The configuration is stored through a dedicated file
in JSON format (not including any binary output).
Having the ability to read and modify the VM configuration manually
between the snapshot and restore phases makes debugging easier, as well
as empowers users for extending the use cases relying on the
snapshot/restore feature.

As per this kernel documentation:
For KVM_EXIT_IO, KVM_EXIT_MMIO, KVM_EXIT_OSI, KVM_EXIT_PAPR, KVM_EXIT_XEN,
KVM_EXIT_EPR, KVM_EXIT_X86_RDMSR and KVM_EXIT_X86_WRMSR the corresponding
operations are complete (and guest state is consistent) only after userspace
has re-entered the kernel with KVM_RUN. The kernel side will first finish
incomplete operations and then check for pending signals.
The pending state of the operation is not preserved in state which is
visible to userspace, thus userspace should ensure that the operation is
completed before performing a live migration. Userspace can re-enter the
guest with an unmasked signal pending or with the immediate_exit field set
to complete pending operations without allowing any further instructions
to be executed.
Since we capture the state as part of the pause and override it as part
of the resume we must ensure the state is consistent otherwise we will
lose the results of the MMIO or PIO operation that caused the exit from
which we paused.

Instead of using hardcoded firmware paths inside the `Guest` struct
constructor, this commit removes `fw_path` related code paths from the
`Guest` struct and asks each test constructs its firmware path
explicitly. This allows better flexibility for the `Guest` struct so
that it can be reused for the performance tests we are adding soon.

In case of TDX, if a kernel and/or a command line are provided by the
user, they can't be treated the same way as for the non-TDX case. That
is why this patch ensures the function load_kernel() is only invoked for
the non-TDX case.
For the TDX case, whenever TDVF contains a Payload and/or PayloadParam
sections, the file provided through --kernel and the parameters provided
through --cmdline are copied at the locations specified by each TDVF
section.

Now that we introduced a separate method to indicate when the migration
is started, both start_dirty_log() and stop_dirty_log() don't have to
carry an implicit meaning as they can focus entirely on the dirty log
being started or stopped.
For that reason, we can now safely move stop_dirty_log() to the code
section performing non-local migration. It makes only sense to stop
logging dirty pages if this has been started before.

In order to clearly decouple when the migration is started compared to
when the dirty logging is started, we introduce a new method to the
Migratable trait. This clarifies the semantics as we don't end up using
start_dirty_log() for identifying when the migration has been started.
And similarly, we rely on the already existing complete_migration()
method to know when the migration has been ended.
A bug was reported when running a local migration with a vhost-user-net
device in server mode. The reason was because the migration_started
variable was never set to "true", since the start_dirty_log() function
was never invoked.

While cloud-hypervisor does support receiving the file descriptors of a
tuntap device, advertising the fds structure via the openAPI can lead to
misinterpretations of what can and what should be done.
An unadvertised consumer will think that they could rather just set the
file descriptors there directly, or even pass them as a byte array.
However, the proper way to go in those cases would be actually sending
those via send_msg(), together with the request.
As hacking the openAPI auto-generated code to properly do this is not
*that* trivial, and as doing so during a `create VM` request is not
supported, we better not advertising those.
