With the latest changes to sidecar GCS, we can't boot the UVM anymore without a proper policy. uvmboot tool can't be used to test/debug CWCOW uvm boots if there is no policy provided. This commits adds a default policy and a flag to override it if required while creating UVMs with the tool. Signed-off-by: Amit Barve <[email protected]>
Currently the uvmboot code doesn't set a size for the console, that causes it to use the default size and causes weird formatting errors. This fixes that by explicitly passing the current window/console's size. Signed-off-by: Amit Barve <[email protected]>

Pull Request Overview
This PR enhances the uvmboot tool with two key improvements for UVM (Utility VM) management: adding support for security policies and fixing console formatting issues.
- Adds a default security policy and configurable policy flag to support GCS (Guest Communication Service) requirements
- Fixes console formatting by explicitly setting console size from the current terminal window
- Ensures UVMs can boot properly when security policies are enforced

[nitpick] The base64-encoded policy string is extremely long and hard to read. Consider storing this in a separate file or using a multiline string with proper formatting for better maintainability.

Using an 'allow all' security policy as the default poses security risks in production environments. Consider making the security policy mandatory or using a more restrictive default policy.

sidecar GCS requires a valid policy to be passed. When that is enforced, we won't be able to boot the UVM anymore without a proper policy. This commit adds a default policy and a flag to override it if required while creating UVMs with the tool.
Currently the uvmboot code doesn't set a size for the console, that causes it to use the default size and causes weird formatting errors. This fixes that by explicitly passing the current window/console's size.
