With the traditional libvirtd, the virConnectOpen call will probe active
drivers server side to find which one to use when the URI is NULL/empty.
With the modular daemons though, the remote client does not know which
daemon to connect in the first place, so we can't rely on virConnectOpen
probing. Currently the virtproxyd daemon has code to probe for a
possible driver by looking at which sockets are listening or which
binaries are installed. The remote client can thus connect to virtproxyd
which in turn can connect to a real hypervisor driver.
The virtproxyd probing code though isn't something that needs to live in
virtproxyd. By moving it into the remote client we can get probing
client side in all scenarios and avoid the extra trip via virtproxyd in
the common case.

When virtproxyd gets a NULL URI, it needs to implement probing logic
similar to that found in virConnectOpen. The latter can't be used
directly since it relied on directly calling into the internal drivers
in libvirtd. virtproxyd approximates this behaviour by looking to see
what modular daemon sockets exist, or what daemon binaries are installed.
This same logic is also going to be needed when the regular libvirt
remote client switches to prefer modular daemons by default, as we
don't want to continue spawning libvirtd going forward.

In fcdcf8f70c the remoteGetUNIXSocket() function was changed and
one new variable was introduced (among other things): @env_name.
However, for WIN32 case the variable changed name to @env_path
which builds mingw builds.

When the default driver mode requests the modular daemons, we still
defaulted to spawning libvirtd if the URI was NULL, because we don't
know which driver specific daemon to spawn. virtproxyd has logic
that can handle this as it is used for compatibility when accepting
incoming TCP connections with a NULL URI.

When deciding what socket to connect to, we build the daemon path
that we need to autostart. This path only needs to be populated
if we actually intend to use autostart.

The remoteGetUNIXSocket method currently just returns the daemon name
and the caller then converts this to a path. Except the SSH helper
didn't do this, so it was relying on later code expanding $PATH, and
this doesn't allow for build root overrides.

We have helper methods that return boolans for ro/user/autostart
properties. We then pack them into a flags parameter, and later
unpack them again. This makes the code consistently use flags
throughout.

Historically, we declared pointer type to our types:
typedef struct _virXXX virXXX;
typedef virXXX *virXXXPtr;
But usefulness of such declaration is questionable, at best.
Unfortunately, we can't drop every such declaration - we have to
carry some over, because they are part of public API (e.g.
virDomainPtr). But for internal types - we can do drop them and
use what every other C project uses 'virXXX *'.
This change was generated by a very ugly shell script that
generated sed script which was then called over each file in the
repository. For the shell script refer to the cover letter:

The current debug message reports the "mode" after selection has
completed, however, the "mode" value can be changed by the selection
logic. It is thus beneficial to report most values upfront, and only
report newly changed values at the end.

This wires up support for using the new virt-ssh-helper binary with the ssh,
libssh and libssh2 protocols.
The new binary will be used preferentially if it is available in $PATH,
otherwise we fall back to traditional netcat.
The "proxy" URI parameter can be used to force use of netcat e.g.
qemu+ssh://host/system?proxy=netcat
or the disable fallback e.g.
qemu+ssh://host/system?proxy=native
With use of virt-ssh-helper, we can now support remote session URIs
qemu+ssh://host/session
and this will only use virt-ssh-helper, with no fallback. This also lets
the libvirtd process be auto-started, and connect directly to the
modular daemons, avoiding use of virtproxyd back-compat tunnelling.
