Newer pod (hello rawhide) complains if you attempt to mix bullets

This patch improves the error message after disconnecting from the
hypervisor and adds the close callback operations required not to leak
the callback reference.
The function is used to establish connection so it should be in the main
virsh file. This movement also enables further improvements done in next
patches.
Note that the "connect" command has moved from the host section of virsh to the
main section. It is now listed by 'virsh help virsh' instead of 'virsh help
host'.
Before closing the connection we unregister the close callback
to prevent a reference leak.
Further, the messages on virConnectClose != 0 are a bit more specific
now.

By passing the flags -z relro -z now to the linker, we can force
it to resolve all library symbols at startup, instead of on-demand.
This allows it to then make the global offset table (GOT) read-only,
which makes some security attacks harder.

PIE (position independent executable) adds security to executables
by composing them entirely of position-independent code (PIC. The
.so libraries already build with -fPIC. This adds -fPIE which is
the equivalent to -fPIC, but for executables. This for allows Exec
Shield to use address space layout randomization to prevent attackers
from knowing where existing executable code is during a security
attack using exploits that rely on knowing the offset of the
executable code in the binary, such as return-to-libc attacks.

virsh schedinfo was able to set only one parameter at a time (not
counting the deprecated options), but it is useful to set more at
once, so this patch adds the possibility to do stuff like this:
virsh schedinfo <domain> cpu_shares=0 vcpu_period=0 vcpu_quota=0 \
emulator_period=0 emulator_quota=0
Invalid scheduler options are reported as well. These were previously
reported only if the command hadn't updated any values (when
cmdSchedInfoUpdate returned 0).

The virsh(1) man page wasn't saying anything about the 'migrateuri'
parameter other than it can be usually omitted. A patched version of
docs/migrate.html.in is taken in this patch to fix that up in the man
page.
The man page states that with --config the next boot is affected. This
can be understood as if _only_ the next boot was affected. This isn't
true if the machine is running.
This patch adds the full --live, --config, --current infrastructure and
tweaks stuff to correctly support the obsolete --persistent flag.
Note that this patch changes the the behavior of the --config flag to match the
use of this flag in rest of libvirt. This flag was mistakenly renamed from
--persistent that originaly had different semantics.
The domif-getlink command did not terminate successfully when the
interface state was found. As the code used old and too complex approach
to do the job, this patch refactors it and fixes the bug.
The 'virsh vcpupin' and 'virsh emulatorpin' commands use the same
code to parse the cpulist. This patch abstracts the same code as
a helper. Along with various code style fixes, and error improvement
(only error "Physical CPU %d doesn't exist" if the specified CPU
exceed the range, no "cpulist: Invalid format", see the following
for an example of the error prior to this patch).
% virsh vcpupin 4 0 0-8
error: Physical CPU 4 doesn't exist.
error: cpulist: Invalid format.
Since the refactoring in fbe2d49 we call virSecretFree even if
virSecretDefineXML fails, which leads to overwriting the error
message with:
error: Invalid secret: virSecretFree

Right now, libvirt-guests gives awkward output. It's possible to
force faster failure by setting /etc/sysconfig/libvirt-guests to use:
ON_SHUTDOWN=shutdown
PARALLEL_SHUTDOWN=0
SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT=1
ON_BOOT=ignore
at which point, we see:
$ service libvirt-guests restart

This patch adds three macros to the virsh source tree that help to
easily check for mutually exclusive parameters.
VSH_EXCLUSIVE_OPTIONS_EXPR has four arguments, two expressions to check
and two names of the parameters to print in the message.
VSH_EXCLUSIVE_OPTIONS is more specific and check the command structure
for the parameters using vshCommandOptBool.
VSH_EXCLUSIVE_OPTIONS_VAR is meant to check boolean variables with the
same name as the parameters.
Clarify that net-create deals with a transient virtual

Clarify that net-destroy works with both transient and
persistent virtual networks.

After we switched to C99 initialization, I noticed there were many
places where the specification of .flags parameter differed. After
going through many options and deciding whether to unify the
initialization to be '.flags = 0' or '.flags = VSH_OFLAG_NONE', I
realized both can be removed and it makes the code easier to go
through.
According to the man page, the memspec parameter should have the
'--memspec' option mandatory and this is as close as we can get to
that. What this change does is explained below.
man virsh:
snapshot-create-as ... [[--live] [--memspec memspec]]
virsh help snapshot-create-as before this patch:
SYNOPSIS
snapshot-create-as ... [<memspec>] ...
...
OPTIONS
[--memspec] <string> ...
virsh help snapshot-create-as after this patch:
SYNOPSIS

Add a new virDomainLxcEnterSecurityLabel() function as a
counterpart to virDomainLxcEnterNamespaces(), which can
change the current calling process to have a new security
context. This call runs client side, not in libvirtd
so we can't use the security driver infrastructure.
When entering a namespace, the process spawned from virsh
will default to running with the security label of virsh.
The actual desired behaviour is to run with the security
label of the container most of the time. So this changes
virsh lxc-enter-namespace command to invoke the
virDomainLxcEnterSecurityLabel method.
The current behaviour is:
LABEL PID TTY TIME CMD
system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c0.c1023 1 pts/0 00:00:00 systemd
system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c0.c1023 3 pts/1 00:00:00 sh
system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c0.c1023 24 ? 00:00:00 systemd-journal
system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c0.c1023 29 ? 00:00:00 dhclient
staff_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 47 ? 00:00:00 ps
Note the ps command is running as unconfined_t, After this patch,
The new behaviour is this:
virsh -c lxc:/// lxc-enter-namespace dan -- /bin/ps -eZ
LABEL PID TTY TIME CMD
system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c0.c1023 1 pts/0 00:00:00 systemd
system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c0.c1023 3 pts/1 00:00:00 sh
system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c0.c1023 24 ? 00:00:00 systemd-journal
system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c0.c1023 32 ? 00:00:00 dhclient
system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c0.c1023 38 ? 00:00:00 ps
The '--noseclabel' flag can be used to skip security labelling.
