Currently, even when using devmapper, if the VMM supports virtio-fs /
virtio-9p, that's used to share a few files between the host and the
guest.
This *needed*, as we need to share with the guest contents like secrets,
certificates, and configurations, via Kubernetes objects like configMaps
or secrets, and those are rotated and must be updated into the guest
whenever the rotation happens.
However, there are still use-cases users can live with just copying
those files into the guest at the pod creation time, and for those
there's absolutely no need to have a shared filesystem process running
with no extra obvious benefit, consuming memory and even increasing the
attack surface used by Kata Containers.
For the case mentioned above, we should allow users, making it very
clear which limitations it'll bring, to run Kata Containers with
devmapper without actually having to use a shared file system, which is
already the approach taken when using Firecracker as the VMM.

The `-o` option is the legacy way to configure virtiofsd, inherited
from the C implementation. The rust implementation honours it for
compatibility but it logs deprecation warnings.
Let's use the replacement options in the go shim code. Also drop
references to `-o` from the configuration TOML file.

The C implementation of virtiofsd had some kind of limited support
for remote POSIX locks that was causing some workflows to fail with
kata. Commit 432f9bea6e hard coded `-o no_posix_lock` in order
to enforce guest local POSIX locks and avoid the issues.
We've switched to the rust implementation of virtiofsd since then,
but it emits a warning about `-o` being deprecated.
According to https://gitlab.com/virtio-fs/virtiofsd/-/issues/53 :
The C implementation of the daemon has limited support for
remote POSIX locks, restricted exclusively to non-blocking
operations. We tried to implement the same level of
functionality in #2, but we finally decided against it because,
in practice most applications will fail if non-blocking
operations aren't supported.
Implementing support for non-blocking isn't trivial and will
probably require extending the kernel interface before we can
even start working on the daemon side.
There is thus no justification to pass `-o no_posix_lock` anymore.

Some vmms, such as dragonball, will actively help us
perform online cpu operations when doing cpu hotplug.
Under the old onlineCpuMem interface, it is difficult
to adapt to this situation.
So we modify the semantics of nb_cpus in onlineCpuMemRequest.
In the original semantics, nb_cpus represents the number of
newly added CPUs that need to be online. The modified
semantics become that the number of online CPUs in the guest
needs to be guaranteed.

As block/direct volume use similar steps of device adding,
so making full use of block volume code is a better way to
handle direct volume.
the only different point is that direct volume will use
DirectVolume and get_volume_mount_info to parse mountinfo.json
from the direct volume path. That's to say, direct volume needs
the help of `kata-ctl direct-volume ...`.

(1) new_device with DeviceConfig and return device_id;
(2) try_add_device with device_id and do really add device;
(3) return device info of device's info;
2. return full info of Device Trait get_device_info
