Wave VM documentation

Documentation

The current build, its limits, and the architecture behind it. The documentation separates implemented behavior from planned work and cites the inspected source where useful.

Current build: Milestone 2

Host diagnostics, machine definitions, QCOW2 disks, QEMU start and stop, QMP control, and a loopback noVNC console are implemented. Guest installation media, networking, machine editing, and release packaging are not. See the roadmap for the full status.
