vsock: Add new VMs at runtime

Implement ability to add new VMs at runtime. Can also modify the configuration for existing VMs but the modifications will take effect only after the VM is restarted. Removing a VM at runtime is not supported at the moment. To use this feature, you must use the `--config` CLI argument to specify the initial configuration with the `--watch` flag set. The path to the config file provided must be a symlink to the actual YAML config. To update the VM configuration at runtime, simply change the symlink to point to the YAML config file with the new configuration. Signed-off-by: Priyansh Rathi <[email protected]>
