Based on the recent changes regarding how to describe NUMA nodes to the
guest, the documentation related to memory zones and NUMA has been
updated accordingly.

Since both --memory-zone and --numa parameters have been updated with
addition and removal of multiple options, this commit updates the
related integration tests to ensure they are still valid.

The way to describe guest NUMA nodes has been updated through previous
commits, letting the user describe the full NUMA topology through the
--numa parameter (or NumaConfig).
That's why we can remove the deprecated and unused 'guest_numa_node'
option.

Based on the previous changes introducing new options for both memory
zones and NUMA configuration, this patch changes the behavior of the
NUMA node definition. Instead of relying on the memory zones to define
the guest NUMA nodes, everything goes through the --numa parameter. This
allows for defining NUMA nodes without associating any particular memory
range to it. And in case one wants to associate one or multiple memory
ranges to it, the expectation is to describe a list of memory zone
through the --numa parameter.

This new option provides a new way to describe the memory associated
with a NUMA node. This is the first step before we can remove the
'guest_numa_node' option from the --memory-zone parameter.

Now that we have an identifier per memory zone, and in order to keep
track of the memory regions associated with the memory zones, we create
and store a map referencing list of memory regions per memory zone ID.

In anticipation for allowing memory zones to be removed, but also in
anticipation for refactoring NUMA parameter, we introduce a mandatory
'id' option to the --memory-zone parameter.
This forces the user to provide a unique identifier for each memory zone
so that we can refer to these.

Move the if-let for the taps later which makes the earlier activation

Introduce VirtioCommon to help remove duplicated functionality and state

This patch ported many tests to the new methodology, where the guest log
will be printed only when the test is failing.
Things to finish in follow-up PRs:
1. Special tests not ported yet include: test_reboot,
test_bzimage_reboot, test_serial_null(), test_serial_tty(),
test_serial_file(), test_virtio_console(), test_console_file(),
and test_simple_launch.
2. Few direct calls to 'Command::new(clh_command("cloud-hypervisor"))',
which is still printing the guest console

Writing some new documentation to help users understand how the guest
memory can be described through Cloud-Hypervisor parameters.

By extending the existing NUMA integration test, this commit validates
the proper distances between NUMA nodes are exposed to the guest.

By introducing the SLIT (System Locality Distance Information Table), we
provide the guest with the distance between each node. This lets the
user describe the NUMA topology with a lot of details so that slower
memory backing the VM can be exposed as being further away from other
nodes.

Based on the NumaConfig which now provides distance information, we can
internally update the list of NUMA nodes with the exact distances they
should be located from other nodes.
