Bug#1121223: ITP: kvmtool -- Native Linux KVM TOOL (re-introduction)

[Yunseong Kim <ysk@kzalloc.com>]

Hi Daniel,

I have completed the latest kvmtool packaging work to
re-introduce this tool to Debian:

 https://mentors.debian.net/package/kvmtool/

I have verified that the package builds successfully.

* Package Salsa Repository:

 https://salsa.debian.org/ysk/kvmtool

Formerly on the salsa repository:

 https://salsa.debian.org/debian/kvmtool

*  My work for the packaging commit:

 https://salsa.debian.org/ysk/kvmtool/-/commit/65ef109

* Reference (Ubuntu):

 https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kvmtool/

* Key Changes & Modernization

- Updated to debhelper-compat (= 13) and Standards-Version 4.7.0.
- Fixed debian/rules to correctly handle DESTDIR and prefix for installation.
- Updated build dependencies.
- Set Architecture to linux-any to support a wider range of architectures
  including RISC-V.
