Currently when we build with nbdkit support, libvirt will always try to
use nbdkit to access remote disk sources when it is available. But
without an up-to-date selinux policy allowing this, it will fail.
because the required selinux policies are not yet widely available, we
have disabled nbdkit support on rpm builds for all distributions before
Fedora 40.
Unfortunately, this makes it more difficult to test nbdkit support.
After someone updates to the necessary selinux policies, they would also
need to rebuild libvirt to enable nbdkit support. By introducing a
configure option (nbdkit_config_default), we can build packages with
nbdkit support but have it disabled by default.

Currently, nbdkit support will automatically be enabled as long as
the pidfd_open(2) syscall is available. Optionally, libnbd is used
to generate more user-friendly error messages.
In theory this is all good, since use of nbdkit is supposed to be
transparent to the user. In practice, however, there is a problem:
if support for it is enabled at build time and the necessary
runtime components are installed, nbdkit will always be preferred,
with no way for the user to opt out.
This will arguably be fine in the long run, but right now none of
the platforms that we target ships with a SELinux policy that
allows libvirt to launch nbdkit, and the AppArmor policy that we
maintain ourselves hasn't been updated either.
So, in practice, as of today having nbdkit installed on the host
makes network disks completely unusable unless you're willing to
compromise the overall security of the system by disabling
SELinux/AppArmor.
In order to make the transition smoother, provide a convenient
way for users and distro packagers to disable nbdkit support at
compile time until SELinux and AppArmor are ready.
In the process, detection is completely overhauled. libnbd is
made mandatory when nbdkit support is enabled, since availability
across operating systems is comparable and offering users the
option to make error messages worse doesn't make a lot of sense;
we also make sure that an explicit request from the user to
enable/disable nbdkit support is either complied with, or results
in a build failure when that's not possible. Last but not least,
we avoid linking against libnbd when nbdkit support is disabled.
At the RPM level, we disable the feature when building against
anything older than Fedora 40, which still doesn't have the
necessary SELinux bits but will hopefully gain them by the time
it's released. We also allow nbdkit support to be disabled at
build time the same way as other optional features, that is, by
passing "--define '_without_nbdkit 1'" to rpmbuild. Finally, if
nbdkit support has been disabled, installing libvirt will no
longer drag it in as a (weak) dependency.

A default deployment on modern distros uses modular daemons but
switching back to the monolithic daemon, while not recommended,
is still considered a perfectly valid option.
For a monolithic daemon deployment, the upgrade to libvirt 9.2.0
or newer works as expected; a subsequent call to dnf autoremove,
however, results in the libvirt-daemon package being removed and
the deployment no longer working.
In order to avoid that situation, mark the libvirt-daemon as
recommended.
This will unfortunately result in it being included in most
installations despite not being necessary, but considering that
the alternative is breaking existing setups on upgrade it feels
like a reasonable tradeoff.
Moreover, since the dependency on libvirt-daemon is just a weak
one, it's still possible for people looking to minimize the
footprint of their installation to manually remove the package
after installation, mitigating the drawbacks of this approach.

For historical reasons (i.e. unknown reason) we put channel
sockets into a path derived from cfg->libDir which is a path that
survives host reboots (e.g. /var/lib/libvirt/...). This is not
necessary and in fact for session daemon creates a longer prefix:
XDG_CONFIG_HOME -> /home/user/.config
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR -> /run/user/1000
Worse, if host is rebooted suddenly (e.g. due to power loss) then
we leave files behind and nobody will ever remove them.
Therefore, place the channel target dir into state dir.

A <channel/> device is basically an UNIX socket into guest.
Whatever is sent from the host, appears in the guest and vice
versa. But because of that, the length of the path to the socket
is important (underscored by fact that we derive the path from
domain short name). But there are still cases where we might not
fit into UNIX_PATH_MAX limit (usually 108 characters), because
the path is derived also from other variables, e.g.
XDG_CONFIG_HOME for session domains.
There are two components though, that are needless: "/target/"
and "domain-" prefix. Drop them. This is safe to do, because
running domains have their path saved in status XML and even
though paths are dropped on migration, they are not part of guest
ABI and thus we are free to change them.

In most cases the replacement is straightforward, with the
biggest difference being that we now schedule restarts during
%pre instead of %post. This also means that we can get rid of
%post for most packages, reducing the number of scriptlets that
need to run during install/upgrade.
Notable exceptions are libvirt-guests.service, where we stop
using the standard systemd macros to adopt our custom ones, as
well as the virtlogd and virtlockd services, where the reload
operation is moved from %postun to %posttrans.

systemd provides a number of standard RPM macros but they don't
quite satisfy our requirements, as evidenced by the fact that we
have already built some custom tooling around them.
Scenarios that the standard macros don't cover and that we're
already addressing with our custom ones:
* for some services (libvirtd, virtnetworkd, virtnwfilterd)
there are multiple conditions that might lead to a restart,
and we want to make sure that they're not needlessly
restarted several times per transaction;
* some services (virtlogd, virtlockd) must not be restarted
during upgrade, so we have to reload them instead.
Issues that neither the standard macros nor our custom ones
address:
* presets for units should be applied when the unit is first
installed, not when the package that contains it is.
The package split that happened in 9.1.0 highlighted why this
last point is so important: when virtproxyd and its sockets
were moved from libvirt-daemon to the new libvirt-daemon-proxy
package, upgrades from 9.0.0 caused presets for them to be
applied.
On a platform such as Fedora, where modular daemons are the
default, this has resulted in breaking existing deployments in
at least two scenarios.
The first one is machines that were configured to use the
monolithic daemon, either because the local admin had manually
changed the configuration or because the installation dated
back to before modular daemons had become the default. In this
case, virtproxyd.socket being enabled resulted in a silent
conflict with libvirtd.socket, which by design shares the same
path, and thus a completely broken setup.
The second one is machines where virtproxy-tls.socket, which is
disabled by default, had manually been enabled: in this case,
applying the presets resulted in it being disabled and thus a
loss of remote availability.
Note that these are just two concrete scenarios, but the problem
is more generic. For example, if we were to add more units to an
existing package, per the current approach they wouldn't have
their presets applied.
The new macros are designed to avoid all of the pitfalls
mentioned above. As a bonus, they're also simpler to use: where
the current approach requires restarts and other operations to
be handled separately, the new one integrates the two so that,
for each scriptlet, a single macro call is needed.

The current implementation pretty much assumes that targets
where modular daemons are the default will stick with that
configuration, as will targets where they're not, or that
changes to these defaults will be performed by the admin after
the packages have been installed.
This is unnecessarily limiting: for example, on a target that
defaults to using the monolithic daemon, it's entirely possible
to create a local preset such as
# /etc/systemd/system-preset/00-virt.preset
disable libvirtd.service
disable libvirtd*.socket
enable virtqemud.service
to opt into a modular daemon deployment. The opposite is of
course also true. We shouldn't get in the way of these
reasonable use cases.
