aca7ff5f70 libxl: add support for PVH
Since this is something between PV and HVM, it makes sense to put the
setting in place where domain type is specified.
To enable it, use <os><type machine="xenpvh">xenpvh</type></os>. It is
also included in capabilities.xml, for every supported HVM guest type - it
doesn't seems to be any other requirement (besides new enough Xen).

24b74d187c qemu: add memfd source type
Add a new memoryBacking source type "memfd", supported by QEMU (when
the capability is available).

A memfd is a specialized anonymous memory kind. As such, an anonymous
source type could be automatically using a memfd. However, there are
some complications when migrating from different memory backends in
qemu (mainly due to the internal object naming at this point, but
there could be more). For now, it is simpler and safer to simply
introduce a new source type "memfd". Eventually, the "anonymous" type
could learn to use memfd transparently in a separate change.

The main benefits are that it doesn't need to create filesystem files,
and it also enforces sealing, providing a bit more safety.

Since commit 8259255 usage of a primary connection driver for
a virConnect has been modified to open (virConnectOpen) and use
a connection to the specific driver in order to handle the API
calls to/for that driver. This causes some confusion and issues
for ACL polkit rule scripts to know exactly which driver by
name will be used.

Add some documentation describing the processing of the primary
and secondary connection as well as the list of the connect_driver
names used for each driver.

6af8417415 conf: Introduce RDT monitor host capability
This patch is introducing cache monitor(CMT) to cache and
memory bandwidth monitor(MBM) for monitoring CPU memory
bandwidth.

The host capability of the two monitors is also introduced
in this patch.

For CMT, the host capability is shown like:
  <host>
  ...
    <cache>
      <bank id='0' level='3' type='both' size='15' unit='MiB' cpus='0-5'>
        <control granularity='768' min='1536' unit='KiB' type='both' maxAllocs='4'/>
      </bank>
      <monitor level='3' 'reuseThreshold'='270336' maxMonitors='176'>
        <feature name='llc_occupancy'/>
      </monitor>
    </cache>
    ...
  </host>

For MBM, the capability is shown like this:
  <host>
    ...
    <memory_bandwidth>
      <node id='1' cpus='6-11'>
        <control granularity='10' min ='10' maxAllocs='4'/>
      </node>
      <monitor maxMonitors='176'>
        <feature name='mbm_total_bytes'/>
        <feature name='mbm_local_bytes'/>
      </monitor>
    </memory_bandwidth>
    ...
  </host>

5bdcef13d1 libxl: drop support for Xen < 4.6
Currently the libxl driver claims support for Xen >= 4.4, but
Xen 4.4 and 4.5 are no longer supported upstream. Let's increase
the minimum supported Xen version to 4.6 and change the defined
LIBXL_API_VERSION to 0x040500, which is the API version defined
when Xen 4.6 was released.

Since Xen 4.6 contains a pkgconfig file, drop the now unused code
that falls back to using LIBVIRT_CHECK_LIB in the absence of
pkgconfig file. In addition, bumping the LIBXL_API_VERSION
required adjusting the calls to libxl_set_vcpuaffinity to account
for the extra parameter in the 0x040500 version of the API.
