The parse_size helper function can now be consolidated into the
ByteSized FromStr implementation.

Now all parsing code makes use of the Toggle and it's FromStr support
move the helper function into the from_str() implementation.

The integration tests and documentation make use of empty value strings
like "--net tap=" accept them but return None so that the default value
will be used as expected.

This simplifies the parsing of the option by using OptionParser along
with its automatic conversion behaviour.

Byte sizes are quantities ending in "K", "M", "G" and by implementing
this type with a FromStr implementation the values can be converted
using .parse().

Before porting over to OptionParser add a unit test to validate the
current memory parsing code. This showed up a bug where the "size=" was
always required. Temporarily resolve this by assigning the string a
default value which will later be replaced when the code is refactored.

This will be used to simplify and consolidate much of the parsing code
used for command line parameters.

This commit adds new option hotplug_method to memory config.
It can set the hotplug method to "acpi" or "virtio-mem".

This opens the backing file read-only, makes the pages in the mmap()
read-only and also makes the KVM mapping read-only. The file is also
mapped with MAP_PRIVATE to make the changes local to this process only.
This is functional alternative to having support for making a
virtio-pmem device readonly. Unfortunately there is no concept of
readonly virtio-pmem (or any type of NVDIMM/PMEM) in the Linux kernel so
to be able to have a block device that is appears readonly in the guest
requires significant specification and kernel changes.

When using "--disk" with a vhost socket and not using self spawning then
it is not necessary or helpful to specify the path.

Add the ability to specify the "id" associated with a device, by adding
an extra option to the parameter --device.
This new option is not mandatory, and by default, the VMM will take care
of finding a unique identifier.
If the identifier provided by the user through this new option is not
unique, an error will be thrown and the VM won't be started.

Add a new field to the DeviceConfig, allowing the VMM to allocate a name
to the VFIO devices.
By identifying a VFIO device with a unique name, we can make sure a user
can properly unplug it at any time.

Recently, vhost_user_block gained the ability of actively polling the
queue, a feature that can be disabled with the poll_queue property.
This change adds this property to DiskConfig, so it can be used
through the "disk" argument.
For the moment, it can only be used when vhost_user=true, but this
will change once virtio-block gets the poll_queue feature too.

follow the "exe" path in the /proc entry for this process and launch the

If no socket is supplied when enabling "vhost_user=true" on "--net"
follow the "exe" path in the /proc entry for this process and launch the
network backend (via the vmm_path field.)
Currently this only supports creating a new tap interface as the network
backend also only supports that.

Add a socket and vhost_user parameter to this option so that the same
configuration option can be used for both virtio-block and
vhost-user-block. For now it is necessary to specify both vhost_user
and socket parameters as auto activation is not yet implemented. The wce
parameter for supporting "Write Cache Enabling" is also added to the
disk configuration.
The original command line parameter is still supported for now and will
be removed in a future release.
