Crate vm_manifest_builder

Crate to help build a VM manifest.

The VM’s manifest is a list of device handles (and, for now, legacy device configuration for [vmotherboard]) for devices that are present in a VM.

This crate helps build the manifest via the VmManifestBuilder type. This can be used to construct common manifests for different VM types, such as Hyper-V generation 1 and 2 VMs, unenlightened Linux VMs, and Underhill VMs.

For now, this crate only builds handles and configuration for “chipset” devices. In the future, it will also build handles for PCI and VMBus devices.
