bits of project specific tooling.
For more info on how `xtask` is different from `xflowey`, see [`xflowey` vs
`xtask`](./xflowey.md#xflowey-vs-xtask).
Some examples of tools that you can find under `xtask`:
- `cargo xtask fmt` implements various OpenVMM-specific style / linting rules
- `cargo xtask fuzz` implements various OpenVMM-specific `cargo fuzz` extensions
- `cargo xtask install-git-hooks` sets up git hooks for developers
This list is not exhaustive. Running `cargo xtask` will list what tools are
available, along with brief descriptions of what they do / how to use them.
