Add configuration to decide the amount of slots that will be used in a VM
- This will limit the amount of times that memory can be hotplugged.
- Use memory slots provided by user.
- tests: aling struct
cli: kata-env: Add memory slots info.
- Show the slots to be added to the VM.

We can just use hyprvisor config to specify the memory size

Add a heuristic to ensure the amount of memory allocated to the
hypervisor is bigger than the size of the image.
This catches simple configuration issues where `default_memory=` is set
to a smaller value than the size of either the `image=` or `initrd=`
files.
If the configured image type is `initrd`, fail but only warn in the
logs for `image` as although it seems a highly unlikely scenario, it is
permitted.
Update tests to ensure that created resources have `>0` bytes.

Add initial support for opentracing by using the `jaeger` package.
Since opentracing uses the `context` package, add a `context.Context`
as the first parameter to all the functions that we might want to
trace. Trace "spans" (trace points) are then added by extracting the
trace details from the specified context parameter.
Notes:
- Although the tracer is created in `main()`, the "root span"
(aka the first trace point) is not added until `beforeSubcommands()`.
This is by design and is a compromise: by delaying the creation of the
root span, the spans become much more readable since using the web-based
JaegerUI, you will see traces like this:
```
kata-runtime: kata-runtime create
------------ -------------------
^ ^
| |
Trace name First span name
(which clearly shows the CLI command that was run)
```
Creating the span earlier means it is necessary to expand 'n' spans in
the UI before you get to see the name of the CLI command that was run.
In adding support, this became very tedious, hence my design decision to
defer the creation of the root span until after signal handling has been
setup and after CLI options have been parsed, but still very early in
the code path.
- At this stage, the tracing stops at the `virtcontainers` call
boundary.
- Tracing is "always on" as there doesn't appear to be a way to toggle
it. However, its resolves to a "nop" unless the tracer can talk to a
jaeger agent.
Note that this commit required a bit of rework to `beforeSubcommands()`
to reduce the cyclomatic complexity.

Add enable_template option to the config file.
When it is set, enable the vm template factory.
cache factory cannot be used by kata cli directly because
it requires a running daemon to maintain the cache VMs.
`kata-runtime factory init` would initialize the vm factory and
`kata-runtime factory destroy` would destroy the vm factory.
When configured, a vm factory is loaded before creating new sandboxes.

If you build and install the runtime, the config file will contain an
entry for both an `initrd=` and an `image=` entry.
The Developer Guide explains that the user must disable one but it is
easy to forget.
Modified the runtime to fail if both an image and an initrd are
specified. Also added a new test for this scenario.

There is a relation between the maximum number of vCPUs and the
memory footprint, if QEMU maxcpus option and kernel nr_cpus
cmdline argument are big, then memory footprint is big, this
issue only occurs if CPU hotplug support is enabled in the kernel,
might be because of kernel needs to allocate resources to watch all
sockets waiting for a CPU to be connected (ACPI event).
For example
```
+---------------+-------------------------+
| | Memory Footprint (KB) |
+---------------+-------------------------+
| NR_CPUS=240 | 186501 |
+---------------+-------------------------+
| NR_CPUS=8 | 110684 |
+---------------+-------------------------+
```
In order to do not affect CPU hotplug and allow to users to have containers
with the same number of physical CPUs, this patch tries to mitigate the
big memory footprint by using the actual number of physical CPUs as the
maximum number of vCPUs for each container if `default_maxvcpus` is <= 0 in
the runtime configuration file, otherwise `default_maxvcpus` is used as the
maximum number of vCPUs.
Before this patch a container with 256MB of RAM
```

Mem: 195M 40M 113M 26M 41M 112M

With this patch
