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.

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.

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.

The OEM strings table in SMBIOS allows the vendor to pass arbitrary
strings into the guest OS. This can be used as a way to pass data to an
application like cloud-init, or potentially as an alternative to the
kernel command line for OS installers where you can't modify the install
ISO image to change the kernel args.
As an example, consider if cloud-init and anaconda supported OEM strings
you could use something like
<oemStrings>
<entry>cloud-init:ds=nocloud-net;s=http://10.10.0.1:8000/</entry>
<entry>anaconda:method=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/25/x86_64/os</entry>
</oemStrings>
use of a application specific prefix as illustrated above is
recommended, but not mandated, so that an app can reliably identify
which of the many OEM strings are targetted at it.
