* remote: ``virt-ssh-helper`` replaces ``nc`` for SSH tunnelling
Libvirt now provides a ``virt-ssh-helper`` binary on the server
side. The libvirt remote client will use this binary for setting
up an SSH tunnelled connection to hosts. If not present, it will
transparently fallback to the traditional ``nc`` tunnel. The new
binary makes it possible for libvirt to transparently connect
across hosts even if libvirt is built with a different installation
prefix on the client vs server. It also enables remote access to
the unprivileged per-user libvirt daemons (e.g. using a URI such as
``qemu+ssh://hostname/session``). The only requirement is that
``virt-ssh-helper`` is present in ``$PATH`` of the remote host.
