Victor Sun 38d866f96f HV: move vm configuration check to pre-build time
This patch will move the VM configuration check to pre-build stage,
a test program will do the check for pre-defined VM configuration
data before making hypervisor binary. If test failed, the make
process will be aborted. So once the hypervisor binary is built
successfully or start to run, it means the VM configuration has
been sanitized.

The patch did not add any new VM configuration check function,
it just port the original sanitize_vm_config() function from cpu.c
to static_checks.c with below change:
  1. remove runtime rdt detection for clos check;
  2. replace pr_err() from logmsg.h with printf() from stdio.h;
  3. replace runtime call get_pcpu_nums() in ALL_CPUS_MASK macro
     with static defined MAX_PCPU_NUM;
  4. remove cpu_affinity check since pre-launched VM might share
     pcpu with SOS VM;

The BOARD/SCENARIO parameter check and configuration folder check is
also moved to prebuild Makefile.

Tracked-On: #5077

ACRN Hypervisor
###############

The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and
an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on
a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a
reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the
"ACRN Device Model".

The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on
the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded
device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists
between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN
hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional
domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and
embedded devices.

You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_
website.
