When firewalld is restarted or has its rules reloaded, we trigger a
reload of the nwfilter driver. This is done directly in the main
event loop thread which is a bad idea.
In a previous commit we fixed a actual deadlock problem with the
virStateReload API, when triggered from SIGHUP:

libvirtd: fix potential deadlock when reloading
The same deadlock problem previously existed with the firewalld reload
trigger, however, today it is not quite so series. The QEMU driver uses
a private event thread for each VM, so the particular deadlock would
not occur. None the less during the time the filters are reloading all
use of the event loop is blocked, which prevents APIs being serviced.

Internally we already collect x86 host family + model + stepping
numeric values. This exposed them in capabilities CPU output.
Example:
$ sudo virsh capabilities | grep -A1 -B1 signature
<microcode version='240'/>
<signature family='6' model='94' stepping='3'/>
<counter name='tsc' frequency='3408010000' scaling='no'/>
Users need to know these values to calculate an expected.

The check was historically done only for _TYPE_VOLUME disks, but
refactors to allow _TYPE_VOLUME disks in the backing chain caused a
regression where we'd reject startupPolicy also for _TYPE_BLOCK disks
which historically worked well.
Fix it by using the 'virDomainDiskDefValidateStartupPolicy' helper and
use it only when the top level image is a _TYPE_VOLUME as in other cases
it was already validated. This also allows _TYPE_BLOCK volumes to use
startup policy.

This patch introduces the logic to format and parse remote NVRAM.
Update NVRAM element schema, and docs for supporting network backed
NVRAM. NVRAM backed over network would give the flexibility to start
the VM on any host without having to worry about where to get the latest
nvram image.
<nvram type='network'>
<source protocol='iscsi' name='iqn.2013-07.com.example:iscsi-nopool/0'>
<host name='example.com' port='6000'/>
</source>
</nvram>
or
<nvram type='file'>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/nvram/guest_VARS.fd'/>
</nvram>
In the qemu driver we will support the new definition only with qemu's
supporting -blockdev.

This is a partial revert of 87a43a907f0ad4897a28ad7c216bc70f37270b93
The change to use g_clear_pointer() in more places was accidentally
applied to cases involving vir_g_source_unref().
In some cases, the ordering of g_source_destroy() and
vir_g_source_unref() was reversed, which resulted in the source being
marked as destroyed, after it is already unreferenced. This
use-after-free case might work in many cases, but with versions of
glib older than 2.64.0 it may defer unref to run within the main
thread to avoid a race condition, which creates a large distance
between the g_source_unref() and g_source_destroy().
In some cases, the call to vir_g_source_unref() was replaced with a
second call to g_source_destroy(), leading to a memory leak or worse.
In our experience, the symptoms were that use of libvirt-python became
slower over time, with OpenStack nova-compute initially taking around
one second to periodically query the host PCI devices, and within an
hour it was taking over a minute to complete the same operation, until
it is was eventually running this query back-to-back, resulting in the
nova-compute process consuming 100% of one CPU thread, losing its
RabbitMQ connection frequently, and showing up as down to the control
plane.

When creating a TAP interface we can end up with multiple FDs,
each representing one queue. However, these FDs must be
relabelled as they are then passed to QEMU. In case of
qemuBuildInterfaceConnect() we allocate the array for the FDs and
then let function corresponding to the <interface/> type to fill
the array with FDs. When any of the functions meets an error,
it's also responsible for closing previously opened FDs. However,
the functions take a shortcut: iterate through each member of the
array and close it (if it's non-negative). This assumes that the
array is initialized to negative values, which use to be the case
before rewrite in v8.4.0-rc1~170 but after it it's no longer the
case. Subsequently, "random" FDs are closed (okay, not that
random since the array is allocated via g_new0(), but hey - FD 0
is still valid FD and might be valuable, actually).
