cloud-hypervisor: add platformOEMStrings and extraPlatformOpts.

The cloud-hypervisor command line interface unfortunately doesn't support
multiple instances of the same arg with a different value, so we have to resort
to these extra module options rather than using extraArgs.

To make matters even worse, the `--platform` argument (of which there can be
only one), is overloaded with different types of sub-args that also need to be
provided multiple times.

This commit allows the operator to add oem strings (for example to pass systemd
credentials), as well as raw platform options as needed.
