This directory isn't just about virtual memory, it's about all kinds
of memory management.

We don't need to have a dedicated API for creating a VMObject with a
single page, the multi-page API option works in all cases.
Also make the API take a Span<NonnullRefPtr<PhysicalPage>> instead of
a NonnullRefPtrVector<PhysicalPage>.

AnonymousVMObject::create_with_physical_page(s) can't be NonnullRefPtr
as it allocates internally. Fixing the API then surfaced an issue in
ScatterGatherList, where the code was attempting to create an
AnonymousVMObject in the constructor which will not be observable
during OOM.
Fix all of these issues and start propagating errors at the callers
of the AnonymousVMObject and ScatterGatherList APis.

Currently, when passing buffers into VirtIOQueues, we use scatter-gather
lists, which contain an internal vector of buffers. This vector is
allocated, filled and the destroy whenever we try to provide buffers
into a virtqueue, which would happen a lot in performance cricital code
(the main transport mechanism for certain paravirtualized devices).
This commit moves it over to using VirtIOQueueChains and building the
chain in place in the VirtIOQueue. Also included are a bunch of fixups
for the VirtIO Console device, making it use an internal VM::RingBuffer
instead.

We want to move this out of the AHCI subsystem into the VM system,
since other parts of the kernel may need to perform scatter-gather IO.
We rename the current VM::ScatterGatherList impl that's used in the
virtio subsystem to VM::ScatterGatherRefList, since its distinguishing
feature from the AHCI scatter-gather list is that it doesn't own its
buffers.

This allows converting a single virtual buffer into its non-physically
contiguous parts, this is especially useful for DMA-based devices that
support scatter/gather-like functionality, as it eliminates the need
to clone outgoing buffers into one physically contiguous buffer.
