19e5db4ae2 logging: introduce log handling protocol
Define a new RPC protocol for the virtlogd daemon that provides
for handling of logs. The initial RPC method defined allows a
client to obtain a file handle to use for writing to a log
file for a guest domain. The file handle passed back will not
actually refer to the log file, but rather an anonymous pipe.
The virtlogd daemon will forward I/O between them, ensuring
file rotation happens when required.

Initially the log setup is hardcoded to cap log files at
128 KB, and keep 3 backups when rolling over, which gives
a max usage of 512 KB per guest.
