Instead of blindly waiting for 20-40s for the guest VM to boot, this
patch waits the notification from the guest VM explicitly by using a
simple TcpListener on the host and a custom systemd service in the
guest.
This patch also ported few tests to use this new machanism, while more
tests are to be ported.

Any occurrence of of a variable containing `ext_region` is replaced with
the less confusing name `saved_region`. The point is to clearly identify
the memory regions that might have been saved during a snapshot, while
the `ext` standing for `external` was pretty unclear.

In the context of saving the memory regions content through snapshot,
using the term "backing file" brings confusion with the actual backing
file that might back the memory mapping.
To avoid such conflicting naming, the 'backing_file' field from the
MemoryRegion structure gets replaced with 'content', as this is
designating the potential file containing the memory region data.

Use GuestRegionMmap::read_exact_from() to ensure that all of the file is
read into the guest. This addresses an issue where
GuestRegionMmap::read_from() was only copying the first 2GiB of the
memory and so lead to snapshot-restore was failing when the guest RAM
was 2GiB or greater.
This change also propagates any error from the copying upwards.

When restoring if a region of RAM is backed by anonymous memory i.e from
memfd_create() then copy the contents of the ram from the file that has
been saved to disk.
Previously the code would map the memory from that file into the guest
using a MAP_PRIVATE mapping. This has the effect of
minimising the restore time but provides an issue where the restored VM
does not have the same structure as the snapshotted VM, in particular
memory is backed by files in the restored VM that were anonymously
backed in the original.
This creates two problems:
* The snapshot data is mapped from files for the pages of the guest
which prevents the storage from being reclaimed.
* When snapshotting again the guest memory will not be correctly saved
as it will have looked like it was backed by a file so it will not be
written to disk but as it is a MAP_PRIVATE mapping the changes will
never be written to the disk again. This results in incorrect
behaviour.

The standalone `--balloon` parameter being fully functional at this
point, we can get rid of the balloon options from the --memory
parameter.
Signed-off-by: Sebastien Boeuf <sebastien.boeuf@intel.com>
Now that we have a new dedicated way of asking for a balloon through the
CLI and the REST API, we can move all the balloon code to the device
manager. This allows us to simplify the memory manager, which is already
quite complex.
It also simplifies the behavior of the balloon resizing command. Instead
of providing the expected size for the RAM, which is complex when memory
zones are involved, it now expects the balloon size. This is a much more
straightforward behavior as it really resizes the balloon to the desired
size. Additionally to the simplication, the benefit of this approach is
that it does not need to be tied to the memory manager at all.

This introduces a new way of defining the virtio-balloon device. Instead
of going through the --memory parameter, the idea is to consider balloon
as a standalone virtio device.

The snasphot/restore feature is not working because some CPU states are
not properly saved, which means they can't be restored later on.
First thing, we ensure the CPUID is stored so that it can be properly
restored later. The code is simplified and pushed down to the hypervisor
crate.
Second thing, we identify for each vCPU if the Hyper-V SynIC device is
emulated or not. In case it is, that means some specific MSRs will be
set by the guest. These MSRs must be saved in order to properly restore
the VM.

This device operates a single virtq. When the driver offers a descriptor
to the device it is interpreted as a "ping" to indicate that the guest
is alive. A periodic timer fires and if when the timer is fired there
has not been a "ping" from the guest then the device will reset the VM.
