f2f9742d4d Fix multiple formatting problems in HTML docs
The rule generating the HTML docs passing the --html flag
to xsltproc. This makes it use the legacy HTML parser, which
either ignores or tries to fix all sorts of broken XML tags.
There's no reason why we should be writing broken XML in
the first place, so removing --html and adding the XHTML
doctype to all files forces us to create good XML.

This adds the XHTML doc type and fixes many, many XML tag
problems it exposes.

cec281fcaa nwfilter: add DHCP snooping
This patch adds DHCP snooping support to libvirt. The learning method for
IP addresses is specified by setting the "CTRL_IP_LEARNING" variable to one of
"any" [default] (existing IP learning code), "none" (static only addresses)
or "dhcp" (DHCP snooping).

Active leases are saved in a lease file and reloaded on restart or HUP.

The following interface XML activates and uses the DHCP snooping:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <source bridge='virbr0'/>
      <filterref filter='clean-traffic'>
        <parameter name='CTRL_IP_LEARNING' value='dhcp'/>
      </filterref>
    </interface>

All filters containing the variable 'IP' are automatically adjusted when
the VM receives an IP address via DHCP. However, multiple IP addresses per
interface are silently ignored in this patch, thus only supporting one IP
address per interface. Multiple IP address support is added in a later
patch in this series.

a3f3ab4c9c nwfilter: Add support for ipset
This patch adds support for the recent ipset iptables extension
to libvirt's nwfilter subsystem. Ipset allows to maintain 'sets'
of IP addresses, ports and other packet parameters and allows for
faster lookup (in the order of O(1) vs. O(n)) and rule evaluation
to achieve higher throughput than what can be achieved with
individual iptables rules.

On the command line iptables supports ipset using

iptables ... -m set --match-set <ipset name> <flags> -j ...

where 'ipset name' is the name of a previously created ipset and
flags is a comma-separated list of up to 6 flags. Flags use 'src' and 'dst'
for selecting IP addresses, ports etc. from the source or
destination part of a packet. So a concrete example may look like this:

iptables -A INPUT -m set --match-set test src,src -j ACCEPT

Since ipset management is quite complex, the idea was to leave ipset 
management outside of libvirt but still allow users to reference an ipset.
The user would have to make sure the ipset is available once the VM is
started so that the iptables rule(s) referencing the ipset can be created.

Using XML to describe an ipset in an nwfilter rule would then look as
follows:

  <rule action='accept' direction='in'>
    <all ipset='test' ipsetflags='src,src'/>
  </rule>

The two parameters on the command line are also the two distinct XML attributes
'ipset' and 'ipsetflags'.

FYI: Here is the man page for ipset:

https://ipset.netfilter.org/ipset.man.html

1d8a00cd22 Documentation about chains' priorities, lists of elements etc.
This patch adds several aspects of documentation about the network filtering
system:

- chains, chains' priorities and chains' default priorities
- talks about lists of elements, i.e., a variable assigned multiple values
  (part of already ACK-ed series)
- already mentions the vlan, stp and mac chains added later on
  (https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-October/msg01238.html)
- mentions limitations of vlan filtering (when sent by VM) on Linux systems

6ab24feb44 nwfilters: support for TCP flags evaluation
This patch adds support for the evaluation of TCP flags in nwfilters.

It adds documentation to the web page and extends the tests as well.
Also, the nwfilter schema is extended.

The following are some example for rules using the tcp flags:

<rule action='accept' direction='in'>
    <tcp state='NONE' flags='SYN/ALL' dsptportstart='80'/>
</rule>
<rule action='drop' direction='in'>
    <tcp state='NONE' flags='SYN/ALL'/>
</rule>

912d170f87 nwfilter: enable rejection of packets
This patch adds the possibility to not just drop packets, but to also have them rejected where iptables at least sends an ICMP msg back to the originator. On ebtables this again maps into dropping packets since rejecting is not supported.

I am adding 'since 0.8.9' to the docs assuming this will be the next version of libvirt.
