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 adds the debug-console (or debugcon) device to CHV. It is a
very simple device on I/O port 0xe9 supported by QEMU and BOCHS. It is
meant for printing information as easy as possible, without any
necessary configuration from the guest at all.
It is primarily interesting to OS/kernel and firmware developers as they
can produce output as soon as the guest starts without any configuration
of a serial device or similar. Furthermore, a kernel hacker might use
this device for information of type B whereas information of type A are
printed to the serial device.
This device is not used by default by Linux, Windows, or any other
"real" OS, but only by toy kernels and during firmware development.
In the CLI, it can be configured similar to --console or --serial with
the --debug-console parameter.
