This patch adds the command line flag `--resume` to the `virsh console`
command. This resumes a paused guest after connecting to the console.
This might be handy since it's a "common" pattern to start a guest
paused, connect to the console, and then resume it so as not to miss any
console messages.

As --storage/--remove-all-storage is fully implemented in virsh as a

The original patches adding the functionality neglected to add any form
of documentation for the stats fields returned for this group.
The stats are directly converted from qemu's 'query-stats(-schema)' QMP
command without any further interpretation. The 'query-stats-schema' has
the following disclaimer:
Note: runtime-collected statistics and their names fall outside QEMU's usual
deprecation policies. QEMU will try to keep the set of available data
stable, together with their names, but will not guarantee stability
at all costs; the same is true of providers that source statistics
externally, e.g. from Linux. For example, if the same value is being
tracked with different names on different architectures or by different
providers, one of them might be renamed. A statistic might go away if
an algorithm is changed or some code is removed; changing a default
might cause previously useful statistics to always report 0. Such
changes, however, are expected to be rare.
Since libvirt is not doing any form of conversion of the stats we can't
meaningfully document any of the returned fields. At the same time we
can't even meaningfully provide any form of API stability for the field
names.
Modify the documentation for the 'VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_VM' group both in the
API docs and in the virsh man page to reflect that and disclaim any form
of stability guarantees we provide normally.

While you can chain the virsh output up to a later 'xmllint' or 'xpath'
command, integrating it into virsh avoids needs for installing extra
binaries which we've often found to be missing on production installs
of libvirt. It also gives better response if the initial virsh command
hits an error, as you don't get an aborted pipeline.
$ virsh pool-dumpxml --xpath //permissions default
<permissions>

<owner>1000</owner>
<group>1000</group>
<label>unconfined_u:object_r:svirt_home_t:s0</label>

If multiple nodes match, they are emitted individually:
$ virsh dumpxml --xpath '//devices/*/address[@type="pci"]' --wrap demo
<address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x05" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>
<address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x03" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>

<address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x07" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>
but if intending to post-process the output further, the results
can be wrapped in a parent node
$ virsh dumpxml --xpath '//devices/*/address[@type="pci"]' --wrap demo

Let's imagine a guest that's configured with strict numatune:
<numatune>
<memory mode='strict' nodeset='0'/>
</numatune>
For guests with NUMA:
Depending on machine type used (see commit v6.4.0-rc1~75) we
generate either:
1) -object '{"qom-type":"memory-backend-ram","id":"ram-node0",\
"size":20971520,"host-nodes":[0],"policy":"preferred"}' \
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,memdev=ram-node0
or
2) -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,mem=20480
Later, when QEMU boots up and cpuset CGroup controller is
available we further restrict QEMU there too. But there's a
behaviour difference hidden: while in case 1) QEMU is restricted
from beginning, in case 2) it is not and thus it may happen that
it will allocate memory from different NUMA node and even though
CGroup will try to migrate it, it may fail to do so (e.g. because
memory is locked). Therefore, one can argue that case 2) is
broken. NB, case 2) is exactly what mode 'restrictive' is for.
However, in case 1) we are unable to update QEMU with new
host-nodes, simply because it's lacking a command to do so.
For guests without NUMA:
It's very close to case 2) from above. We have commit
v7.10.0-rc1~163 that prevents us from outputting host-nodes when
generating memory-backend-* for system memory, but that simply
allows QEMU to allocate memory anywhere and then relies on
CGroups to move it to desired location.
Due to all of this, there is no reliable way to change nodeset
for mode 'strict'. Let's forbid it.

Non-shared storage migration of guests which are disk I/O intensive and
have fast local storage may actually never converge if the guest happens
to dirty the disk faster than it can be copied.
This patch introduces a new flag
'VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_SYNCHRONOUS_WRITES' which will instruct
hypervisors to synchronize local I/O writes with the writes to remote
storage used for migration so that the guest can't overwhelm the
migration. This comes at a cost of decreased local I/O performance for
guests which behave well on average.
