We used to have errors definitions spread across vmm, vm, api,
and http.
We now have a cleaner separation: All API routines only return an
ApiResult. All VM operations, including the VMM wrappers, return a
VmResult. This makes it easier to carry errors up to the HTTP caller.

In order to support further use cases where a VM configuration could be
modified through the HTTP API, we only store the passed VM config when
being asked to create a VM. The actual creation will happen when booting
a new config for the first time.

We use the serde crate to serialize and deserialize the VmVConfig
structure. This structure will be passed from the HTTP API caller as a
JSON payload and we need to deserialize it into a VmConfig.
For a convenient use of the HTTP API, we also provide Default traits
implementations for some of the VmConfig fields (vCPUs, memory, etc...).

The linux_loader crate Cmdline struct is not serializable.
Instead of forcing the upstream create to carry a serde dependency, we
simply use a String for the passed command line and build the actual
CmdLine when we need it (in vm::new()).
Also, the cmdline offset is not a configuration knob, so we remove it.

They point to a vm_virtio structure (VhostUserConfig) and in order to
make the whole config serializable (through the serde crate for
example), we'd have to add a serde dependency to the vm_virtio crate.
Instead we use a local, serializable structure and convert it to
VhostUserConfig from the DeviceManager code.

The kernel path was the only mandatory command line option.
With the addition of the --api-socket option, we can run without a
kernel path and get it later through the API.
Since we can end up with VM configurations that are no longer valid by
default, we need to provide a validation check for it. For now, if the
kernel path is not defined, the VM configuration is invalid.

The Cloud Hyper HTTP server runs a synchronous, multi-threaded
loop that receives HTTP requests and tries to call the corresponding
endpoint handlers for the requests URIs.
An endpoint handler will parse the HTTP request and potentially
translate it into and IPC request. The handler holds an notifier and an
mspc Sender for respectively notifying and sending the IPC payload to
the VMM API server. The handler then waits for an API server response
and translate it back into an HTTP response.
The HTTP server is responsible for sending the reponse back to the
caller.
The HTTP server uses a static routes hash table that maps URIs to
endpoint handlers.

The cloud-hypervisor API uses HTTP as a transport and is accessible
through a local UNIX socket.
The API root path is /api/v1 and is a collection of RPC-style methods.
All methods are static, unlike typical REST APIs. Variable (e.g. device
IDs) are passed through the request body.

Refactor the PCI datastructures to move the device ownership to a PciBus
struct. This PciBus struct can then be used by both a PciConfigIo and
PciConfigMmio in order to expose the configuration space via both IO
port and also via MMIO for PCI MMCONFIG.

We now start the main VMM thread, which will be listening for VM and IPC

Unlike the Vmm structure we removed with commit bdfd1a3f, this new one
is really meant to represent the VM monitoring/management object.
For that, we implement a control loop that will replace the one that's
currently embedded within the Vm structure itself.
This will allow us to decouple the VM lifecycle management from the VM
object itself, by having a constantly running VMM control loop.
Besides the VM specific events (exit, reset, stdin for now), the VMM
control loop also handles all the Cloud Hypervisor IPC requests.

Cloud Hypervisor IPC is a simple, mpsc based protocol for threads to
send command to the furture VMM thread. This patch adds the API
definition for that IPC, which will be used by both the main thread
to e.g. start a new VM based on the CLI arguments and the future HTTP
server to relay external requests received from a local Unix domain
socket.
We are moving it to its own "api" module because this is where the
external API (HTTP based) will also be implemented.
The VMM thread will be listening for IPC requests from an mpsc receiver,
process them and send a response back through another mpsc channel.
