Introduce VirtioCommon to help remove duplicated functionality and state

feature acknowledgement and testing.

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

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

Relying on the list of CPUs defined through the NumaConfig, this patch

Through this new parameter, we give users the opportunity to specify a
set of CPUs attached to a NUMA node that has been previously created
from the --memory-zone parameter.
This parameter will be extended in the future to describe the distance
between multiple nodes.
For instance, if a user wants to attach CPUs 0, 1, 2 and 6 to a NUMA
node, here are two different ways of doing so:
Either
./cloud-hypervisor ... --numa id=0,cpus=0-2:6
Or
./cloud-hypervisor ... --numa id=0,cpus=0:1:2:6

This new test validates the guest OS can find the NUMA nodes which have

The SRAT table (System Resource Affinity Table) is needed to describe
NUMA nodes and how memory ranges and CPUs are attached to them.
For now it simply attaches a list of Memory Affinity structures based on
the list of NUMA nodes created from the VMM.

Based on the 'guest_numa_node' option, we create and store a list of
NUMA nodes in the MemoryManager. The point being to associate a list of
memory regions to each node, so that we can later create the ACPI tables
with the proper memory range information.

With the introduction of this new option, the user will be able to
describe if a particular memory zone should belong to a specific NUMA
node from a guest perspective.
For instance, using '--memory-zone size=1G,guest_numa_node=2' would let
the user describe that a memory zone of 1G in the guest should be
exposed as being associated with the NUMA node 2.

Let's narrow down the limitation related to mbind() by allowing shared
mappings backed by a file backed by RAM. This leaves the restriction on
only for mappings backed by a regular file.
With this patch, host NUMA node can be specified even if using
vhost-user devices.

Relying on the new option 'host_numa_node' from the 'memory-zone'
parameter, the user can now define which NUMA node from the host

Since memory zones have been introduced, it is now possible for a user
to specify multiple backends for the guest RAM. By adding a new option
'host_numa_node' to the 'memory-zone' parameter, we allow the guest RAM
to be backed by memory that might come from a specific NUMA node on the
host.
The option expects a node identifier, specifying which NUMA node should
be used to allocate the memory associated with a specific memory zone.

The flag 'mergeable' should only apply to the entire guest RAM, which is

Factorize the codepath between simple memory and multiple memory zones.
This simplifies the way regions are memory mapped, as everything relies
on the same codepath. This is performed by creating a memory zone on the
fly for the specific use case where --memory is used with size being
different from 0. Internally, the code can rely on memory zones to
create the memory regions forming the guest memory.

After the introduction of user defined memory zones, we can now remove

First thing, this patch introduces a new function to identify if a file
descriptor is linked to any hard link on the system. This can let the
VMM know if the file can be accessed by the user, or if the file will
be destroyed as soon as the VMM releases the file descriptor.
Based on this information, and associated with the knowledge about the
region being MAP_SHARED or not, the VMM can now decide to skip the copy
of the memory region content. If the user has access to the file from
the filesystem, and if the file has been mapped as MAP_SHARED, we can
consider the guest memory region content to be present in this file at
any point in time. That's why in this specific case, there's no need for
performing the copy of the memory region content into a dedicated file.

Let's not assume that a backing file is going to be the result from
a snapshot for each memory region. These regions might be backed by
a file on the host filesystem (not a temporary file in host RAM), which
means they don't need to be copied and stored into dedicated files.
That's why this commit prepares for further changes by introducing an
optional PathBuf associated with the snapshot of each memory region.
