e72b3f0bbe util: storage: Drop pointless 'enabled' form PR definition
Everything can be disabled by not using the parent element. There's no
need to store this explicitly. Additionally it does not add any value
since any configuration is dropped if enabled='no' is configured.

Drop the attribute and adjust the code accordingly.

If @managed is set to 'yes' then the <source/> is not parsed.

c84be08156 conf: format/parse <vmcoreinfo> as tristate
<features><vmcoreinfo/> is a bare boolean XML property. We don't really
use this format anymore and instead prefer tristate <X state=on|off/>
since it's required for modeling on/off/default. If for example future
qemu started enabling vmcoreinfo by default we wouldn't have any way
for the user to turn this off.

Convert it to tristate. For writing XML this is semanticly the same,
<vmcoreinfo/> is processed as <vmcoreinfo state='on'/>.

For apps reading guest XML this is technically an API change,
as they might misinterpret <vmcoreinfo state='off'/>, however this
has only been present in libvirt since 3.10.0 and I don't think any
apps are dependent on this yet

c4466179f4 conf: Add rom.enabled attribute for PCI devices
The attribute can be used to disable ROM loading completely
for a device.

This might be needed because, even when the guest is configured
such that the PCI ROM will not be loaded in the PCI BAR, some
hypervisors (eg. QEMU) might still make it available to the
guest in a form (eg. fw_cfg) that some firmwares (eg. SeaBIOS)
will consume, thus not achieving the desired result.

20ad55a8fd driver: introduce a driver method for probing default URIs
Currently the virDrvConnectOpen method is supposed to handle both
opening an explicit URI and auto-probing a driver if no URI is
given. Introduce a dedicated virDrvConnectURIProbe method to enable the
probing functionality to be split from the driver opening functionality.

It is still possible for NULL to be passed to the virDrvConnectOpen
method after this change, because the remote driver needs special
handling to enable probing of the URI against a remote libvirtd daemon.

a2fd657b86 lxc: allow use of lxc:///system URI as preferred format
Historically we have used a bare lxc:/// URI for connecting to LXC. This
is different from our practice with QEMU, UML, Parallels, Libxl, BHyve
and VirtualBox drivers, which all use a path of '/system' or '/session'
or both.

By making LXC allow '/system', we have fully standardized on the use of
either '/system' or '/session' for all the stateful drivers that run
inside libvirtd.

Support for lxc:/// is of course maintained for back-compat.

a8ea89d258 xen: encourage use of xen:///system URI as preferred format
Historically we have used a bare xen:/// URI for connecting to the
legacy Xen driver. The new libxl Xen driver follows the new practice
of allowing '/system' as a path, as well as bare '/' for compat with
the old Xen driver.

This documents xen:///system as the preferred format for Xen, leaving
xen:/// as an undocumented feature just for back-compat.
