628ea46c58 virtcontainers: change container's rootfs from string to mount alike struct
container's rootfs is a string type, which cannot represent a
block storage backed rootfs which hasn't been mounted.
Change it to a mount alike struct as below:
    RootFs struct {
            // Source specify the BlockDevice path
            Source string
            // Target specify where the rootfs is mounted if it has been mounted
            Target string
            // Type specifies the type of filesystem to mount.
            Type string
            // Options specifies zero or more fstab style mount options.
            Options []string
            // Mounted specifies whether the rootfs has be mounted or not
            Mounted bool
     }

If the container's rootfs has been mounted as before, then this struct can be
initialized as: RootFs{Target: <rootfs>, Mounted: true} to be compatible with
previous case.

9b73900ba6 katautils: mask systemd-random-seed
systemd-random-seed service fails if the rootfs is a read-only fs.
systemd-random-seed restores the random seed of the system at early
boot and saves it at shutdown, since kata containers are one boot machines
this service is not needed.

2456ac52eb pkg: reduce memory footprint
Reduce memory footprint ~7% by disabling some systemd services like
systemd-journald and systemd-udevd, those services are just consuming memory
and are not needed. For example kata-agent logs the errors through the proxy.

fixes #1339

90704c8bb6 VMCache: the core and the client
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.

Fixes: #52

42a89d0dcd katautils: Move SetKernelParams from CreateSandbox to updateRuntimeConfig

It just around the configuration.
So this patch moves it to updateRuntimeConfig.
