PR #6146 added the possibility to control QEMU with an extra HMP socket
as an aid for debugging. This is great for development or bug chasing
but this raises some concerns in production.
The HMP monitor allows to temper with the VM state in a variety of ways.
This could be intentionally or mistakenly used to inject subtle bugs in
the VM that would be extremely hard if not even impossible to debug. We
definitely don't want that to be enabled by default.
The feature is currently wired to the `enable_debug` setting in the
`[hypervisor.qemu]` section of the configuration file. This setting has
historically been used to control "debug output" and it is used as such
by some downstream users (e.g. Openshift). Forcing people to have the
extra HMP backdoor at the same time is abusive and dangerous.
A new `extra_monitor_socket` is added to `[hypervisor.qemu]` to give
fine control on whether the HMP socket is wanted or not. This setting
is still gated by `enable_debug = true` to make it clear it is for
debug only. The default is to not have the HMP socket though. This
isn't backward compatible with #6416 but it is for the sake of "better
safe than sorry".
An extra monitor socket makes the QEMU instance untrusted. A warning is
thus logged to the journal when one is requested.
While here, also allow the user to choose between HMP and QMP for the
extra monitor socket. Motivation is that QMP offers way more options to
control or introspect the VM than HMP does. Users can also ask for
pretty json formatting well suited for human reading. This will improve
the debugging experience.
This feature is only made visible in the base and GPU configurations
of QEMU for now.

Currently, even when using devmapper, if the VMM supports virtio-fs /
virtio-9p, that's used to share a few files between the host and the
guest.
This *needed*, as we need to share with the guest contents like secrets,
certificates, and configurations, via Kubernetes objects like configMaps
or secrets, and those are rotated and must be updated into the guest
whenever the rotation happens.
However, there are still use-cases users can live with just copying
those files into the guest at the pod creation time, and for those
there's absolutely no need to have a shared filesystem process running
with no extra obvious benefit, consuming memory and even increasing the
attack surface used by Kata Containers.
For the case mentioned above, we should allow users, making it very
clear which limitations it'll bring, to run Kata Containers with
devmapper without actually having to use a shared file system, which is
already the approach taken when using Firecracker as the VMM.

Pass SELinux policy for containers to the agent if `disable_guest_selinux`
is set to `false` in the runtime configuration. The `container_t` type
is applied to the container process inside the guest by default.
Users can also set a custom SELinux policy to the container process using
`guest_selinux_label` in the runtime configuration. This will be an
alternative configuration of Kubernetes' security context for SELinux
because users cannot specify the policy in Kata through Kubernetes's security
context. To apply SELinux policy to the container, the guest rootfs must
be CentOS that is created and built with `SELINUX=yes`.

updateFromDropIn() uses the infrastructure built by previous commits to
ensure no contents of 'tomlConfig' are lost during decoding. To do
this, we preserve the current contents of our tomlConfig in a clone and
decode a drop-in into the original. At this point, the original
instance is updated but its Agent and/or Hypervisor fields are
potentially damaged.
To merge, we update the clone's Agent/Hypervisor from the original
instance. Now the clone has the desired Agent/Hypervisor and the
original instance has the rest, so to finish, we just need to move the
clone's Agent/Hypervisor to the original.

These functions take a TOML key - an array of individual components,
e.g. ["agent" "kata" "enable_tracing"], as returned by BurntSushi - and
two 'tomlConfig' instances. They copy the value of the struct field
identified by the key from the source instance to the target one if
necessary.
This is only done if the TOML key points to structures stored in
maps by 'tomlConfig', i.e. 'hypervisor' and 'agent'. Nothing needs to
be done in other cases.

For 'tomlConfig' substructures stored in Golang maps - 'hypervisor' and
'agent' - BurntSushi doesn't preserve their previous contents as it does
for substructures stored directly (e.g. 'runtime'). We use reflection
to work around this.
This commit adds three primitive operations to work with struct fields
identified by their `toml:"..."` tags - one to get a field value, one to
set a field value and one to assign a source struct field value to the
corresponding field of a target.

control the network I/O bandwidth at the VM level.
* DiskRateLimiterBwOneTimeBurst, also defined in bits per second, which
is used to define an *initial* max rate, which doesn't replenish.
* DiskRateLimiterOpsMaxRate, the operations per second equivalent of the
DiskRateLimiterBwMaxRate.
* DiskRateLimiterOpsOneTimeBurst, the operations per second equivalent of
the DiskRateLimiterBwOneTimeBurst.

In a similar way to what's already exposed as RxRateLimiterMaxRate and
TxRateLimiterMaxRate, let's add four new fields to the Hypervisor's
configuration.
The values added are related to bandwidth and operations rate limiters,
which have to be added so we can expose I/O throttling configurations to
users using Cloud Hypervisor as their preferred VMM.
The reason we cannot simply re-use {Rx,Tx}RateLimiterMaxRate is because
Cloud Hypervisor exposes a single MaxRate to be used for both inbound
and outbound queues.
The newly added fields are:
* NetRateLimiterBwMaxRate, defined in bits per second, which is used to
control the network I/O bandwidth at the VM level.
* NetRateLimiterBwOneTimeBurst, also defined in bits per second, which
is used to define an *initial* max rate, which doesn't replenish.
* NetRateLimiterOpsMaxRate, the operations per second equivalent of the

Previously, it was not permitted to have neither an initrd nor an image.
However, this is the exact config to use for Secure Execution, where the

Also
- remove redundant code for image/initrd checking -- no need to check in

`getInitrdAndImage` (called)
- use `QemuCCWVirtio` constant when possible
