Next steps for Rust guest agent

[Yann Dirson <yann.dirson@vates.tech>]

Current status:
- primary goal: to have one guest agent all downstreams can use, in all 
guests (with Linux and FreeBSD already supported), as efficient as 
possible (with Netlink already supported on Linux)
- developed at https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen-guest-agent (till now 
using gitlab PRs)
- works fine as a replacement for the Xenserver xe-guest-utilities

Some points raised during the community call:
- we likely want first to agree on a core set of collected information
- could be made more configurable (eg. define a xenstore schema at 
runtime, we don't want specific schemas needs to cause forks)
   -> it could be the agent requesting a specific xenstore schema
- what should be the criteria to advertise it as official Xenproject 
guest agent ?
