The Global string represents the set of default Device driver properties
we want qemu to use. This is mostly useful for automatically created
devices.

It is used to define the current and maximum RAM is made available to
the guest and how this amount of RAM is splitted into several slots.

guest to the host by emulating a console, a tty, a serial device for
example.

its parameters. This is the kernel qemu will boot the VM from.

The Object slice tells qemu which specific object to create.
Qemu objects can represent memory backend files, random number
generators, TLS credentials, etc...

We may need to support a large range of devices in the qemu created VM
and the Device slice allows us to define which drivers are needed.

QMP sockets are used to send qemu specific commands to the running qemu
process.
The QMPSocket structure allows us to define the socket type we want,
along with its name.

LaunchQemu() now takes a Config structure that contains some more
descriptive fields than raw qemu parameter strings.
LaunchQemu is now simpler to call and more extensible as supporting more
qemu parameters would mean expanding Config instead of changing the API.

This will allow us to use some of the new standard library functions
such as DialContext.
