VMFile.kdl defines the omnios-builder VM with cloud-init, SSH config,
and a 3-stage provision pipeline (bootstrap packages + Rust, upload
forger source tarball, build and install forger). Makefile provides
convenience targets wrapping vmctl commands. pack-forger.sh creates a
minimal tarball of just the forger + spec-parser crates and image specs
from refraction-forger for upload to the VM.

Introduce a Vagrantfile-like declarative config format using KDL for defining
multi-VM environments. Includes KDL parsing with validation, a provisioning
engine (shell inline/script + file upload over SSH), and four new CLI commands
for managing VM lifecycles from VMFile.kdl definitions.

The scaffolding compiled but couldn't actually run VMs because QEMU
was missing vCPU/memory/networking args, VmHandle didn't persist enough
state for restart, and CLI commands discarded updated handles after
operations.
Key changes:
- Add vcpus, memory_mb, disk_gb, network, ssh_host_port, mac_addr to
VmHandle with serde(default) for backward compat
- Make NetworkConfig serializable with serde(tag = "type")
- Change Hypervisor trait: start/stop/suspend/resume return Result<VmHandle>
so backends can return updated PID, VNC addr, etc.
- Complete QEMU start() with -smp, -m, tap/user-mode networking, stale
socket cleanup, PID reading, and VNC querying via QMP
- Fix guest_ip() to return 127.0.0.1 for user-mode networking and
filter ARP entries by bridge for tap mode
- Add QMP query_vnc() and fix unwrap() panics in send_command()
- All CLI commands now persist the updated VmHandle after operations
- Add input validation in create with miette diagnostics
- Atomic state persistence (write-to-tmp + rename)
- SSH: port-aware connections, try ed25519/ecdsa/rsa key types
- Enhanced status/list output with vCPUs, memory, network, SSH port
- New tests: NetworkConfig roundtrip, VmHandle roundtrip, backward compat

Unified VM management consolidating QEMU-KVM (Linux) and Propolis/bhyve
(illumos) backends behind an async Hypervisor trait, with a vmctl CLI for
direct use and a library API for orchestrators.
- Core library: types, async Hypervisor trait, miette diagnostic errors
- QEMU backend: direct process management, raw QMP client, QCOW2 overlays
- Propolis backend: zone-based VMM with REST API control
- Shared infra: cloud-init NoCloud ISO generation, image download/cache,
SSH helpers with retry
- vmctl CLI: create, start, stop, destroy, list, status, console, ssh,
suspend, resume, image pull/list/inspect
- nebula-vm zone brand: lifecycle scripts and platform/config XML for
illumos zone integration
