Junjie Mao 7a1fbcf51f config_tools: add upgrader of scenario XMLs
With a bunch of dramatic improvement to the schema of scenario XML
recently, it is now non-trivial for users of previous releases to migrate
their scenario definitions to the next-gen schema, which will be a
major obstacle when upgrading to the next ACRN release.

In order to ease the upgrade of scenario XML, this patch introduces a
script that takes a scenario XML of previous releases and generates a new
one which satisfies the latest schema. The major data that can be migrated
include:

  - Virtual UART and shared memory configurations

  - VM types, load_order and guest flags

Other data are preserved as long as they are still needed according to the
schema. The script to print a list that summarizes the data that are
unintendedly discarded during the upgrade, so that users can double check
the results and edit the generated scenario using the configurator.

The upgrader share the same command-line interface of the default value
populator and scenario validator.

More upgrading logic will be added at the same time the schema is changed.

v1 -> v2:
  * The upgrader now pretty-prints the upgraded XML.
  * Apply the upgrader to the current scenario XMLs in the repo. The
    ordering of nodes are adjusted to align with the schema, but no
    essential changes are made.
  * Set the log level to INFO.

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.

Community Support
*****************

The Project ACRN Developer Community includes developers from member
organizations and the general community all joining in the development of
software within the project. Members contribute and discuss ideas,
submit bugs and bug fixes. They also help those in need
through the community's forums such as mailing lists and IRC channels. Anyone
can join the developer community and the community is always willing to help
its members and the User Community to get the most out of Project ACRN.

Welcome to the project ACRN community!

We're now holding monthly Technical Community Meetings and encourage you
to call in and learn more about the project. Meeting information is on
the `TCM Meeting page`_ in our `ACRN wiki <https://wiki.projectacrn.org/>`_.

Resources
*********

Here's a quick summary of resources to find your way around the Project
ACRN support systems:

* **Project ACRN Website**: The https://projectacrn.org website is the
  central source of information about the project. On this site, you'll
  find background and current information about the project as well as
  relevant links to project material.  For a quick start, refer to the
  `ACRN Introduction`_ and `Getting Started Guide`_.

* **Source Code in GitHub**: Project ACRN source code is maintained on a
  public GitHub repository at https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor.
  You'll find information about getting access to the repository and how to
  contribute to the project in this `Contribution Guide`_ document.

* **Documentation**: Project technical documentation is developed
  along with the project's code, and can be found at
  https://projectacrn.github.io.  Additional documentation is maintained in
  the `Project ACRN GitHub wiki`_.

* **Issue Reporting and Tracking**: Requirements and Issue tracking is done in
  the Github issues system: https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor/issues.
  You can browse through the reported issues and submit issues of your own.

* **Reporting a Potential Security Vulnerability**: If you have discovered potential
  security vulnerability in ACRN, please send an e-mail to acrn-security@lists.projectacrn.org.

  It is important to include the following details:

  - The projects and versions affected
  - Detailed description of the vulnerability
  - Information on known exploits

* **Mailing List**: The `Project ACRN Development mailing list`_ is perhaps the most convenient
  way to track developer discussions and to ask your own support questions to
  the project ACRN community.  There are also specific `ACRN mailing list
  subgroups`_ for builds, users, and Technical
  Steering Committee notes, for example.
  You can read through the message archives to follow
  past posts and discussions, a good thing to do to discover more about the
  project.
