Flush host writeback queues, drop the page cache and sleep 1s
for kernel housekeeping before each test run.
The cloud-hypervisor block backend does buffered I/O on the host
side, so dirty pages from prior write tests can accumulate and
compete for I/O bandwidth with subsequent tests. Dropping caches
ensures cold read tests get a consistent baseline rather than
benefiting from data cached by prior tests. The brief cooldown
lets the kernel finish tearing down KVM state and freeing pages
from the previous VM before the next one starts.
Requires root, which the metrics container provides. Silently
fails otherwise.

When a test times out, the spawned thread containing the
cloud-hypervisor child process, iperf3/ethr sub processes,
and all associated resources (TAP devices, file descriptors,
hugepage reservations) is abandoned without cleanup. This
attaches a cleanup routine that kills cloud-hypervisor,
iperf3, and ethr processes on timeout, then waits
briefly for the kernel to reclaim their resources. This
prevents leaked processes from interfering with subsequent
tests.
Removes the existing TODO comment.

Add performance tests for standalone qcow2 images without backing
files - uncompressed, zlib and zstd compressed. Each variant
includes single queue and multiqueue tests for sequential
read, random read and warmed up sequential read.

Add warmup_iterations field to run iterations before measuring
performance. This complements existing cold start tests
by separating cache effects from steady state throughput.
New tests with 2 warmup iterations:
- block_qcow2_backing_qcow2_read_warm_MiBps
- block_qcow2_backing_raw_read_warm_MiBps
Results show warm cache is much faster and more consistent:
- QCOW2: 1766 MiB/s (4% variance) vs cold 960 MiB/s (73% variance)
- RAW: 1822 MiB/s (6% variance) vs cold 1300 MiB/s (55% variance)
RAW backing is 3% faster than QCOW2 in steady state.

Introduce a new BlockControl struct to encapsulate fio operation
parameters. This replaces the tuple-based fio_control with a more
extensible structure that includes:
- fio_ops: The FIO operation type
- bandwidth: Whether to measure bandwidth or IOPS
- test_file: The file path to test against
This refactoring enables reusing performance_block_io with different
test files.

By introducing `imports_granularity="Module"` format strategy,
effectively groups imports from the same module into one line or block,
improving maintainability and readability.

Historically the Cloud Hypervisor coding style has been to ensure that
all imports are ordered and placed in a single group. Unfortunately
cargo fmt has no support for ensuring that all imports are in a single
group so if whitespace lines were added as part of the import statements
then they would only be odered correctly in the group.
By adopting "group_imports="StdExternalCrate" we can enforce a style
where imports are placed in at most three groups for std, external
crates and the crate itself. Choosing a style enforceable by the tooling
reduces the reviewer burden.

This commit will add timeout parameter to performance metrics
testcases as runtime argument. Testcases are facing the timeout
sometimes when we run with MSHV hypervisor. This change will
provide mechanism to pass the timeout as per the need while
running the testcases. If nothing is passed, default timeout or
timeout set as per the testcase will be followed.

Change fio_ops to fio_control and add a new field to indicate whether it
should report bandwidth or IOPS.
All existing tests are bandwidth tests. Adapt the code accordingly. Add
a set of new tests to report IOPS.
