Restore resource allocators from snapshot

[Manciukic]

What

Currently the ResourceAllocator is not restored from the snapshot, but its state is rebuilt by replaying allocations with ExactMatch (example).

Why

The current pattern for restoring the state is cumbersome and prone to error. For example, acpi and mptable allocations in the system memory are not replayed, meaning that the allocator state would be different after restore. It works fine for now because we don't allow for changing state after restore, but new features may be impacted by this, like hotplugging.

How

We should serialize its state in the snapshot, as proposed in rust-vmm/vm-allocator#40, and remove the replayed ExactMatch allocations.

I can take this issue on as well due to relevance with the other.

The rust-vmm PR has been merged (rust-vmm/vm-allocator#40), it will be possible to implement the firecracker side once it gets released.
