numa: Extend CLI to provide memory latency and bandwidth information
Add -numa hmat-lb option to provide System Locality Latency and Bandwidth Information. These memory attributes help to build System Locality Latency and Bandwidth Information Structure(s) in ACPI Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT). Before using hmat-lb option, enable HMAT with -machine hmat=on.

+Use @samp{hmat-lb} to set System Locality Latency and Bandwidth Information
+between initiator and target NUMA nodes in ACPI Heterogeneous Attribute Memory Table (HMAT).
+Initiator NUMA node can create memory requests, usually it has one or more processors.
+Target NUMA node contains addressable memory.
+
+In @samp{hmat-lb} option, @var{node} are NUMA node IDs. @var{hierarchy} is the memory
+hierarchy of the target NUMA node: if @var{hierarchy} is 'memory', the structure
+represents the memory performance; if @var{hierarchy} is 'first-level|second-level|third-level',
+this structure represents aggregated performance of memory side caches for each domain.
+@var{type} of 'data-type' is type of data represented by this structure instance:
+if 'hierarchy' is 'memory', 'data-type' is 'access|read|write' latency or 'access|read|write'
+bandwidth of the target memory; if 'hierarchy' is 'first-level|second-level|third-level',
+'data-type' is 'access|read|write' hit latency or 'access|read|write' hit bandwidth of the
+target memory side cache.
+
+@var{lat} is latency value in nanoseconds. @var{bw} is bandwidth value,
+the possible value and units are NUM[M|G|T], mean that the bandwidth value are
+NUM byte per second (or MB/s, GB/s or TB/s depending on used suffix).
+Note that if latency or bandwidth value is 0, means the corresponding latency or
+bandwidth information is not provided.
+
+For example, the following options describe 2 NUMA nodes. Node 0 has 2 cpus and
+a ram, node 1 has only a ram. The processors in node 0 access memory in node
+0 with access-latency 5 nanoseconds, access-bandwidth is 200 MB/s;
+The processors in NUMA node 0 access memory in NUMA node 1 with access-latency 10
+nanoseconds, access-bandwidth is 100 MB/s.
