As is recommended by UX/DX reviews, the per-VM console virtual UART is now
limited to the following choices:
- Disabled
- a COM port from COM1 to COM4
- PCI based
This patch converts the schema of scenario XMLs to integrate this
recommendation and add logic in the scenario upgrader to migrate data from
old scenario XMLs.
v1 -> v2:
* Update the static allocators and C source transformers according to the
new console vUART config item.

Instead of using a Boolean variable indicating whether a build is for debug
or release, it is more intuitive to specify the build types as "debug" or
"release".
This patch converts the config item RELEASE to BUILD_TYPE which takes
"debug" or "release" as of now.
The generated header and makefile still uses RELEASE, and the command line
option RELEASE=<y or n> is also preserved.

We plan to add the following attributes to element definitions in the XML
schema:
- acrn:applicable-vms, which specify if an element applies to a
pre-launched VM, the service VM or a post-launched VM
- acrn:views, which specify if an element shall appear in the basic or
advanced tab in the configurator.
In order to reduce the attributes above to existing XML technologies, we
need to create new complex types that lists all config items that applies
to a pre-launched VM, the service VM or a post-launched VM, or that should
be shown in the basic or advanced view. Such types can then be used to
replace the original, all-in-one type during validation or configurator
rendering.
When unspecified, an element always applies under all possible
circumstances.
To realize this slicing mechanism, this patch adds a generic class
implementing the common part of slicing XML schema types and two
specific-purpose slicers according to the applicable VMs or views
attributes.
v2 -> v3:
* Update configdoc.xsl to recognize types in xs:alternative nodes.

Last year, GitHub announced the deprecation of the unsecured Git
protocol due to security reasons. This change will be made permanent on
March 15, 2022. Update the doc build tutorial to use https: instead of
git: protocol for cloning repos.
And while in here, clarify some of the doc build instructions.

Acrn driver in libvirt needs to handle JSON command or
JSON message to interact with command monitor in ACRN DM.
In libvirt, JSON APIs implementation depends on yajl lib.
So yajl should be configured for libvirt.
v1-->v2:
Remove description about checkout hypervisor tag
since libvirt can work on the latest hypervisor.
Libvirt doesn't depend on acrnd and acrnctl now,
remove acrnd and acrnctl installation in this document.
