The linux kernel feature RANDOMIZE_BASE improved the security and at
the same time increased the memory footprint of a kata container,
this feature was enabled in kata-containers/packaging#1006.
In order to mitigate this increase in memory consumption, we can
boot container using the uncompressed kernel.
Reduce boot time by ~5%
Reduce KSM memory footprint by ~14%
Reduce noKSM memory footprint by ~27%

`rustjail::erros` was removed in a previous commit, hence some external crates
like `error_chain` are no longger required, update Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock
to reflect these changes.

Don't use `rustjail::errors` for error handling, since it's not
thread safe and there are better alternatives like `anyhow`.
`anyhow` attaches context to help the person troubleshooting
the error understand where things went wrong, for example:
Current error messages:
```
No such file or directory (os error 2)
```
With `anyhow`:
```
Error: Failed to read config.json
Caused by:
No such file or directory (os error 2)
```

Use `.to_string` to wrap up `caps::errors::Error`s since they are not
thread safe, otherwise `cargo build` will fail with the following error:
```
doesn't satisfy `caps::errors::Error: std::marker::Sync`
```

Return `anyhow::Result` from all the functions in this directory.
Add function `io_error_kind_eq` to compare an `anyhow::Error` with an
`io::Error`, this function downcast the `anyhow::Error`.

In order to use a build systemd like launchpad, the snapcraft.yaml file
must be in the root directory of the project or under the `snap`
directory, that way launchpad detects that this project can be build
using the `snapcraft` command

Currently, isPCIeDevice() attempts to determine if a (host) device is
PCI-Express capable by looking up its link speed via the PCI slots
information in sysfs. This is a) complicated and b) wrong. PCI-e
devices don't have to have slots information, so this frequently fails.
Instead determine if devices are PCI-e by checking for the presence of
PCIe extended configuration space by looking at the size of the "config"
file in sysfs.
Forward ported from 6bf93b23 in the Kata 1.x runtime repository.
