Rafael Falcao 75a234904f Debian: Add build structure for virt/qemu
This change adds the necessary files for the qemu package to
be built for Debian. This review follows the same approach
used on the virt/libvirt [1].

The base version selected comes from the Debian archive [2] since the
salsa-debian [3] version was not fully compatible with stx build tools.
The full upstream build was quite long (time) and big (size) so we
patched the Debian files with debian_patches to drop unnecessary
packages, that is, packages that starlingx does not need.

The patches dir will contain source code patches required for
stx-qemu, that is, the code that was earlier added on top of 3.0.0
qemu release to add StarlingX required functionalities.
The work done on this change is simply porting the code changes,
copying it and doing the minimum required updates when it is needed.

The list of commits follow, where the "-" character indicates that the
commit was dropped now that we are based on 5.2:

Test Plan:
PASS: Build the qemu packages
PASS: Build iso with qemu packages
PASS: Bootstrap Debian ISO on AIO-SX
PASS: Ensure qemu packages are installed (apt list --installed)
PASS: Lock/Unlock AIO-SX *
* Future tests regarding the libvirt/qemu runtime features will be done
once all the pieces are in place in the ISO.

Subject: [PATCH] STX: realtime uses mlock instead of mlockall
This enhances qemu to use mlock() instead of mlockall() when
'-realtime mlock=on' is specified, so that memory is engineerable.
mlockall() is not practically engineerable since it requires significant
4K reserved memory per process. It will lock pages of the code, data and
stack segment, shared libraries, user space kernel data, shared memory,
and memory-mapped files. This easily translates to >> 1GiB when you
consider [heap] segment of 225MiB and VmData near 500 MiB to 900 MiB.
Using mlock() only in ram_block_add(), we no longer lock stack / data,
shared libraries, and heap.
NOTE: This degrades the guarantee provided by '-realtime mlock=on'
since we may end up delaying the instance to fault in code pages from
disk or allocate memory, thus breaking any realtime guarantees.
