If the firewalld backend wasn't available and libvirt decides to try
setting up a "direct" backend, it checks for the presence of iptables,
ip6tables, and ebtables. If they are not found, a message like this is logged:
error : virFirewallValidateBackend:193 : direct firewall backend
requested, but /usr/sbin/ip6tables is not available:
No such file or directory
But then at a later time if an attempt is made to use the virFirewall
API, failure will be indicated with:
error : virFirewallApply:936 : out of memory
This patch changes virFirewallApply to first check if a firewall
backend hadn't been successfully setup, and logs a slightly more
informative message in that case:
error : virFirewallApply:940 : internal error:
Failed to initialize a valid firewall backend

Wikipedia's list of common misspellings [1] has a machine-readable
version. This patch fixes those misspellings mentioned in the list
which don't have multiple right variants (as e.g. "accension", which can
be both "accession" and "ascension"), such misspellings are left
untouched. The list of changes was manually re-checked for false
positives.

The virDBusMethodCall method has a DBusError as one of its
parameters. If the caller wants to pass a non-NULL value
for this, it immediately makes the calling code require
DBus at build time. This has led to breakage of non-DBus
builds several times. It is desirable that only the virdbus.c
file should need WITH_DBUS conditionals, so we must ideally
remove the DBusError parameter from the method.
We can't simply raise a libvirt error, since the whole point
of this parameter is to give the callers a way to check if
the error is one they want to ignore, without having the logs
polluted with an error message. So, we add a virErrorPtr
parameter which the caller can then either ignore or raise
using the new virReportErrorObject method.
This new method is distinct from virSetError in that it
ensures the logging hooks are run.

Some of the nwfilter tests are now failing since --concurrent shows
up in the ebtables command. To avoid this, implement a function
preventing the probing for lock support in the eb/iptables tools
and use it in the tests.

Commit dc33e6e4 caused older platforms like Fedora 20 to emit
scary log messages at startup:
2014-11-19 23:12:58.800+0000: 28906: error : virCommandWait:2532 : internal error: Child process (/usr/sbin/iptables -w -L -n) unexpected exit status 2: iptables v1.4.19.1: unknown option "-w"
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
Since we are probing and expect to handle the case where -w is not
supported, we should not let virCommand log it as an error.

util: use -w flag when calling iptables
This only ever had effect with the virtual network driver,
as it was not wired up into the nwfilter driver. Unfortunately
in the firewall refactoring the use of the -w flag was
accidentally lost.
This patch introduces it to the virfirewall.c module so that
both the virtual network and nwfilter drivers will be using
it. It also ensures that the equivalent --concurrent flag
to ebtables is used.
The network and nwfilter drivers both have a need to update
firewall rules. The currently share no code for interacting
with iptables / firewalld. The nwfilter driver is fairly
tied to the concept of creating shell scripts to execute
which makes it very hard to port to talk to firewalld via
DBus APIs.
This patch introduces a virFirewallPtr object which is able
to represent a complete sequence of rule changes, with the
ability to have multiple transactional checkpoints with
rollbacks. By formally separating the definition of the rules
to be applied from the mechanism used to apply them, it is
also possible to write a firewall engine that uses firewalld
DBus APIs natively instead of via the slow firewalld-cmd.
