Philipp Schuster f15999823d vmm: outgoing migration: log effective downtime
Use OngoingMigrationContext to measure and log the effective VM downtime
(pause to remote resume) and the cost of each non-trivial step in the
downtime window: snapshotting, sending the snapshot, and awaiting
completion. This makes it straightforward to identify and reduce
downtime as live migration matures.

Example:

```
cloud-hypervisor:   7.703402s: <vmm> INFO:vmm/src/lib.rs:1494 -- Migration completed after 2.2s with a downtime of 298ms (goal was 300ms)
cloud-hypervisor:   7.703453s: <vmm> DEBUG:vmm/src/lib.rs:1500 -- Downtime breakdown: 298ms (final_iter:269ms state:7ms send_state:19ms complete:1ms)
```

Note: downtime is measured on the source only; cross-host clock skew
may cause unreliable results.

# Terminology

At first glance, the use of "state" and "[VM] snapshot" may seem
confusing. As discussed in [0], we use "state" consistently in the
migration code. On the VM side, "snapshotting" is merely the mechanism
used to obtain the VM state.
