Remember original owners and SELinux labels of files
</summary>
<description>
When a domain is starting up libvirt changes DAC and
SELinux labels so that domain can access it. However,
it never remembered the original labels and therefore
the file was returned back to <code>root:root</code>.
With this release, the original labels are remembered
and restored properly.

network: Allow passing arbitrary options to dnsmasq
</summary>
<description>
This works similarly to the existing support for passing arbitary
options to QEMU, and just like that feature it comes with no
support guarantees.

Implement per-driver locking

nss: Report newer addresses first
</summary>
<description>
In some cases, a guest might be assigned a new IP address by DHCP
before the previous lease has expired, in which case the NSS plugin
will correctly report both addresses; many applications, however,
ignore all addresses but the first, and may thus end up trying to
connect using a stale address. To prevent that from happening, the
NSS plugin will now always report the newest address first.

util: Optimize mass closing of FDs when spawning child processes
</summary>
<description>
When the limit on the number of FDs is very high, closing all
unwanted FDs after calling <code>fork()</code> can take a lot of
time and delay the start of the child process. libvirt will now
use an optimized algorithm that minimizes such delays.

logging: Ensure virtlogd rollover takes priority over logrotate
</summary>
<description>
virtlogd implements its own rollover mechanism, but until now
logrotate could end up acting on the logs before virtlogd had a
chance to do so itself.
