A file based memory backend mapped to the host, fot eg: '/dev/shm' will

implementation of that for kata. This will be enabled default for
virtio-fs negating the need to enable hugepages in that scenario. This
option can be used without virtio-fs by setting 'file_mem_backend' to

VMCache is a new function that creates VMs as caches before using it.
It helps speed up new container creation.
The function consists of a server and some clients communicating
through Unix socket. The protocol is gRPC in protocols/cache/cache.proto.
The VMCache server will create some VMs and cache them by factory cache.
It will convert the VM to gRPC format and transport it when gets
requestion from clients.
Factory grpccache is the VMCache client. It will request gRPC format
VM and convert it back to a VM. If VMCache function is enabled,
kata-runtime will request VM from factory grpccache when it creates
a new sandbox.
VMCache has two options.
vm_cache_number specifies the number of caches of VMCache:
unspecified or == 0 --> VMCache is disabled
> 0 --> will be set to the specified number
vm_cache_endpoint specifies the address of the Unix socket.
This commit just includes the core and the client of VMCache.
Currently, VM cache still cannot work with VM templating and vsock.
And just support qemu.

We convert the whole virtcontainers code to use the store package
instead of the resource_storage one. The resource_storage removal will
happen in a separate change for a more logical split.
This change is fairly big but mostly does not change the code logic.
What really changes is when we create a store for a container or a
sandbox. We now need to explictly do so instead of just assigning a
filesystem{} instance. Other than that, the logic is kept intact.

Start adding support for virtio-mmio devices starting with block.
The devices show within the vm as vda, vdb,... based on order of
insertion and such within the VM resemble virtio-blk devices.
They need to be explicitly differentiated to ensure that the
agent logic within the VM can discover and mount them appropropriately.
The agent uses PCI location to discover them for virtio-blk.
For virtio-mmio we need to use the predicted device name for now.
Note: Kata used a disk for the VM rootfs in the case of Firecracker.
(Instead of initrd or virtual-nvdimm). The Kata code today does not
handle this case properly.
For now as Firecracker is the only Hypervisor in Kata that
uses virtio-mmio directly offset the drive index to comprehend
this.
Longer term we should track if the rootfs is setup as a block
device explicitly.

- Container only is responsable of namespaces and cgroups
inside the VM.
- Sandbox will manage VM resources.
The resouces has to be re-calculated and updated:
- Create new Container: If a new container is created the cpus and memory
may be updated.
- Container update: The update call will change the cgroups of a container.
the sandbox would need to resize the cpus and VM depending the update.
To manage the resources from sandbox the hypervisor interaface adds two methods.
- resizeMemory().
This function will be used by the sandbox to request
increase or decrease the VM memory.
- resizeCPUs()
vcpus are requested to the hypervisor based
on the sum of all the containers in the sandbox.
The CPUs calculations use the container cgroup information all the time.
This should allow do better calculations.
For example.
2 containers in a pod.
container 1 cpus = .5
container 2 cpus = .5
Now:
Sandbox requested vcpus 1
Before:
Sandbox requested vcpus 2
When a update request is done only some atributes have
information. If cpu and quota are nil or 0 we dont update them.
If we would updated them the sandbox calculations would remove already
removed vcpus.
This commit also moves the sandbox resource update call at container.update()
just before the container cgroups information is updated.

block_device_cache_noflush.
They are cache-related options for block devices that are described in
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/qapi/block-core.json.
block_device_cache_direct denotes whether use of O_DIRECT (bypass the host
page cache) is enabled. block_device_cache_noflush denotes whether flush
requests for the device are ignored.
The json said they are supported since 2.9.
So add block_device_cache_set to control the cache options set to block

|--vcpu

```
* `vc` cgroup is common parent for all kata-container sandbox, it won't be removed
after sandbox removed. This cgroup has no limitation.
* `<sandbox-id>` cgroup is the layer for each sandbox, it contains all other qemu
threads except for vcpu threads. In future, we can consider putting all shim
processes and proxy process here. This cgroup has no limitation yet.
* `vcpu` cgroup contains vcpu threads from qemu. Currently cpu quota and period

There is a relation between the maximum number of vCPUs and the
memory footprint, if QEMU maxcpus option and kernel nr_cpus
cmdline argument are big, then memory footprint is big, this
issue only occurs if CPU hotplug support is enabled in the kernel,
might be because of kernel needs to allocate resources to watch all
sockets waiting for a CPU to be connected (ACPI event).
For example
```
+---------------+-------------------------+
| | Memory Footprint (KB) |
+---------------+-------------------------+
| NR_CPUS=240 | 186501 |
+---------------+-------------------------+
| NR_CPUS=8 | 110684 |
+---------------+-------------------------+
```
In order to do not affect CPU hotplug and allow to users to have containers
with the same number of physical CPUs, this patch tries to mitigate the
big memory footprint by using the actual number of physical CPUs as the
maximum number of vCPUs for each container if `default_maxvcpus` is <= 0 in
the runtime configuration file, otherwise `default_maxvcpus` is used as the
maximum number of vCPUs.
