Keiichi Watanabe 53e745078a vmm_vhost: Enable health-check for third_party/vmm_vhost 
Make tools/health-check cover third_party/vmm_vhost, as we are
maintaining vmm_vhost by ourselves and we don't pull the upstream
changes so frequently unlike other third_party components.

This CL includes:
* updates in scripts under /tools, and
* the auto-gerated changes by `./tools/fmt --nightly`

vHost

A pure rust library for vhost-user. This is a fork of rust-vmm/vhost.

vhost Architecture

The vhost-user protocol aims to implement vhost backend drivers in userspace, which complements the ioctl interface used to control the vhost implementation in the Linux kernel. It implements the control plane needed to establish virtqueue sharing with a user space process on the same host. It uses communication over a Unix domain socket to share file descriptors in the ancillary data of the message.

The protocol defines two sides of the communication, master and slave. Master is the application that shares its virtqueues, slave is the consumer of the virtqueues. Master and slave can be either a client (i.e. connecting) or server (listening) in the socket communication.
