There was one attempt a year ago done by me to drop HAL [1] but it was
never resolved. There was another time when Dan suggested to drop HAL
driver [2] but it was decided to keep it around in case device
assignment will be implemented for FreeBSD and the fact that
virt-manager uses node device driver [3].
I checked git history and code and it doesn't look like bhyve supports
device assignment so from that POV it should not block removing HAL.
The argument about virt-manager is not strong as well because libvirt
installed from FreeBSD packages doesn't have HAL support so it will not
affect these users as well [4].
The only users affected by this change would be the ones compiling
libvirt from GIT on FreeBSD.
I looked into alternatives and there is libudev-devd package on FreeBSD
but unfortunately it doesn't work as it doesn't list any devices when
used with libvirt. It provides libudev APIs using devd.
I also looked into devd directly and it provides some APIs but there are
no APIs for device monitoring and events so that would have to be
somehow done by libvirt.
Main motivation for dropping HAL support is to replace libdbus with GLib
dbus implementation and it cannot be done with HAL driver present in
libvirt because HAL APIs heavily depends on symbols provided by libdbus.

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.

Even though this was brought up in upstream discussion [1] it
missed my patches: users should prefer <oemStrings/> over fwcfg.
The reason is that fwcfg is considered somewhat internal to QEMU
and it has limited number of slots and neither of these applies
to <oemStrings/>.
While I'm at it, I'm fixing the example too (because it contains
incorrect element name) and clarifying sysfs/ exposure.

Local socket connections were outright disabled because there was no "server"
part in the URI. However, given how requirements and usage scenarios are
evolving, some management apps might need the source libvirt daemon to connect
to the destination daemon over a UNIX socket for peer2peer migration. Since we
cannot know where the socket leads (whether the same daemon or not) let's decide
that based on whether the socket path is non-standard, or rather explicitly
specified in the URI. Checking non-standard path would require to ask the
daemon for configuration and the only misuse that it would prevent would be a
pretty weird one. And that's not worth it. The assumption is that whenever
someone uses explicit UNIX socket paths in the URI for migration they better
know what they are doing.

By default Xen only allows guests to write "known safe" values into PCI
configuration space, yet many devices require writes to other areas of
the configuration space in order to operate properly. To allow writing
any values Xen supports the 'permissive' setting, see xl.cfg(5) man page.
This change models Xen's permissive setting by adding a writeFiltering
attribute on the <source> element of a PCI hostdev. When writeFiltering
is set to 'no', the Xen permissive setting will be enabled and guests
will be able to write any values into the device's configuration space.
The permissive setting remains disabled in the absense of the
writeFiltering attribute, of if it is explicitly set to 'yes'.

Changes:
- Update the descriptions of --current & --config flags.
For --config, the reason to rephrase "next boot" to "next start"
is: "Next boot may still imply somebody selecting "reboot" in the
guest OS and fully expecting the changes to be applied." (per Peter
Krempa)
For --current, existing documentation says:
"If *--current* is specified, affect the current guest state."
It's not entirely clear what states can "current" mean or imply. So
rephrase it in context of the other two related flags --live and
--config.
- While at it, I also took the liberty to replace the few occurrences
of "peristent domain[s]" with "persistent guest[s]"
Fix all occurrences (i.e. as many as I could spot) of this.
