This change enables easier integration with third-party
tools by removing the requirement for a dummy IP address
when configuring tap devices. The modification applies to
both CLI and API interactions.
Previously, cloud-hypervisor would automatically set a
default static IP address (192.168.249.1) if none was provided.
This could lead to:
* multiple devices without explicit IP configurations
would end up with the same default IP
* unnecessary inclusion of this IP in firewall rules
* the IP address could clash with host networking and
routing
This introduces a new constraint:
When providing an IP, the mask must also be provided.
Removes warnings introduced in #7179.
Closes issue #7083.

This message makes it easier to confirm a successful shutdown when
scanning logs during development and in production. If the message is
missing and the last log entry is not an error, the most likely cause
is a livelock (e.g. contention on a lock) introduced while developing
new Cloud Hypervisor features.

The "proper logger" has indeed the advantage that messages can
be gracefully redirected to log files etc. However, this makes the
error message hardly readable.
Therefore, I propose to use error!() only for runtime errors messages
but not a pretty-printed version of those.

Unify log formatting and printing as `eprintln!` and `log::error!`
would be used alongside each other.
When using e.g. `env_logger` lines printed with `eprintln!` would
lack formatting / colors.
Currently only relevant in `ch-remote` + `cli_print_error_chain`.
Note that the replaced messages now also end up in the logfile of
`cloud-hypervisor` when configured and not any longer in stderr.
Signed-off-by: Maximilian Güntner <code@mguentner.de>
Until now all messages generated using `log::level!`
(e.g., `warn!`) have not been printed as `ch-remote` did not
register a logger.
Furthermore, replace all `eprintln!` with `error!`

Remote server errors are transferred as raw HTTP body. This way,
we lose the nested structured error information.
This is an attempt to retrieve the errors from the HTTP response
and to align the output with the normal error output.
For example, this produces the following chain of errors. Note
that everything after level 0 was retrieved from the HTTP server
response:
```
Error: ch-remote exited with the following chain of errors:
0: http client error
1: Server responded with InternalServerError
2: Error from API
3: The disk could not be added to the VM
4: Failed to validate config
5: Identifier disk1 is not unique
Debug Info: HttpApiClient(ServerResponse(InternalServerError, Some("Error from API<br>The disk could not be added to the VM<br>Failed to validate config<br>Identifier disk1 is not unique")))
```
In case the JSON can't be parsed properly, ch-remote will print:
```
Error: ch-remote exited with the following chain of errors:
0: http client error
X: Can't get remote's error messages from JSON response: EOF while parsing a value at line 1 column 0: body=''
Debug Info: HttpApiClient(ServerResponse(InternalServerError, Some("")))

With the foundations of each error type implementing std::error::Error,
we can now nicely walk the `.source()` chain and print an error trace.
This commit introduces improved user-facing error printing when:
- Cloud Hypervisor fails with an error
- ch-remote fails (client error)
- ch-remote fails (remote error)
The additional context is a clear improvement in UX for both users and
developers. In the following example, the new behaviour is shown for
a direct invocation of Cloud Hypervisor leading to a failure. This
looks similar for ch-remote.
```

This streamlines the code base to follow best practices for
error handling in Rust: Each error struct implements
std::error::Error (most due via thiserror::Error derive macro)
and sets its source accordingly.
This allows future work that nicely prints the error chains,

So far, the convention is that each error prints its
sub error as part of its Display::fmt() impl.

The CLI has grown to a big variety of options. clap prints them in the
help message (--help) in the order they were defined. We now are at a
point where grouping things logically together doesn't work well.
Further, there is no support by clap for logical grouping and the
current code base wasn't consistent. Therefore, this commit introduces
two changes:
- a new structure to define arguments (all in an array)
- an alphabetical ordering of the arguments
No other changes have been made. No options have been altered.
This significantly improves:
- code maintainability and extensibility
- readability of the --help output
A unit test ensures they stay sorted. A better approach to check if the
list of arguments (known at build time) is sorted would be a compile
time check (`const`), but this currently isn't possible in stable Rust.

Historically the Cloud Hypervisor coding style has been to ensure that
all imports are ordered and placed in a single group. Unfortunately
cargo fmt has no support for ensuring that all imports are in a single
group so if whitespace lines were added as part of the import statements
then they would only be odered correctly in the group.
By adopting "group_imports="StdExternalCrate" we can enforce a style
where imports are placed in at most three groups for std, external
crates and the crate itself. Choosing a style enforceable by the tooling
reduces the reviewer burden.

Pvmemcontrol provides a way for the guest to control its physical memory
properties, and enables optimizations and security features. For
example, the guest can provide information to the host where parts of a
hugepage may be unbacked, or sensitive data may not be swapped out, etc.
Pvmemcontrol allows guests to manipulate its gPTE entries in the SLAT,
and also some other properties of the memory map the back's host memory.
This is achieved by using the KVM_CAP_SYNC_MMU capability. When this
capability is available, the changes in the backing of the memory region
on the host are automatically reflected into the guest. For example, an
mmap() or madvise() that affects the region will be made visible
immediately.
There are two components of the implementation: the guest Linux driver
and Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) device. A guest-allocated shared
buffer is negotiated per-cpu through a few PCI MMIO registers, the VMM
device assigns a unique command for each per-cpu buffer. The guest
writes its pvmemcontrol request in the per-cpu buffer, then writes the
corresponding command into the command register, calling into the VMM
device to perform the pvmemcontrol request.
The synchronous per-cpu shared buffer approach avoids the kick and busy
waiting that the guest would have to do with virtio virtqueue transport.
The Cloud Hypervisor component can be enabled with --pvmemcontrol.
