✨ Improvements

• Fuzzer / QEMU:
  Dump snapshot metadata into $WORKDIR/snapshot/state.yml, and parse that file on fuzzer shutdown to update it's own IP filters configuration. (see kafl.fuzzer#68, kafl.qemu#10)

  This avoids having to pass IP filters through the hprintf channel, parse logs and extract them on the host, to send them again to kafl cov for coverage.

🔧 Fixes

• Security fixes (#215, #217)
• Switch QEMU revision pinning to a tag instead of a branch (#214)
• kafl.targets: simplify linux kernel tutorial and use predefined load path for kAFL configuration (kafl.targets#23)
• examples role
  • fix shell used to unpacking GPG key (#233)
  • install missing qemu-system-x86 package (#234)
  • disable cloning submodules (#256)
