db72866310 util: add API for reading password from the console
This imports a simpler version of GNULIB's getpass() function
impl for Windows. Note that GNULIB's impl was buggy as it
returned a static string on UNIX, and a heap allocated string
on Windows. This new impl always heap allocates.

88446e07b2 libvirt: support an "embed" URI path selector for opening drivers
The driver URI scheme:

  "$drivername:///embed?root=/some/path"

enables a new way to use the drivers by embedding them directly in the
calling process. To use this the process must have a thread running the
libvirt event loop. This URI will then cause libvirt to dynamically load
the driver module and call its global initialization function. This
syntax is applicable to any driver, but only those will have been
modified to support a custom root directory and embed URI path will
successfully open.

The application can now make normal libvirt API calls which are all
serviced in-process with no RPC layer involved.

It is required to specify an explicit root directory, and locks will be
acquired on this directory to avoid conflicting with another app that
might accidentally pick the same directory.

Use of '/' is not explicitly forbidden, but note that the file layout
used underneath the embedded driver root does not match the file
layout used by system/session mode drivers. So this cannot be used as
a backdoor to interact with, or fake, the system/session mode drivers.

Libvirt will create arbitrary files underneath this root directory. The
root directory can be kept untouched across connection open attempts if
the application needs persistence. The application is responsible for
purging everything underneath this root directory when finally no longer
required.

Even when a virt driver is used in embedded mode, it is still possible
for it to in turn use functionality that calls out to other secondary
drivers in libvirtd. For example an embedded instance of QEMU can open
the network, secret or storage drivers in the system libvirtd.

That said, the application would typically want to at least open an
embedded secret driver ("secret:///embed?root=/some/path"). Note that
multiple different embedded drivers can use the same root prefix and
co-operate just as they would inside a normal libvirtd daemon.

A key thing to note is that for this to work, the application that links
to libvirt *MUST* be built with -Wl,--export-dynamic to ensure that
symbols from libvirt.so are exported & thus available to the dynamically
loaded driver module. If libvirt.so itself was dynamically loaded then
RTLD_GLOBAL must be passed to dlopen().

207709a031 libvirt: pass a directory path into drivers for embedded usage
The intent here is to allow the virt drivers to be run directly embedded
in an arbitrary process without interfering with libvirtd. To achieve
this they need to store all their configuration & state in a separate
directory tree from the main system or session libvirtd instances.

This can be useful for doing testing of the virt drivers in "make check"
without interfering with the user's own libvirtd instances.

It can also be used for applications using KVM/QEMU as a piece of
infrastructure to build an service, rather than for general purpose
OS hosting. A long standing example is libguestfs, which would prefer
if its temporary VMs did show up in the main libvirtd VM list, because
this confuses apps such as OpenStack Nova. A more recent example would
be Kata which is using KVM as a technology to build containers.

b1b878c512 util: activate directory override when used from library
The Perl bindings for libvirt use the test driver for unit tests. This
tries to load the cpu_map/index.xml file, and when run from an
uninstalled build will fail.

The problem is that virFileActivateDirOverride is called by our various
binaries like libvirtd, virsh, but is not called when a 3rd party app
uses libvirt.so

To deal with this we allow the LIBVIRT_DIR_OVERRIDE=1 env variable to be
set and make virInitialize look for this. The 'run' script will set it,
so now build using this script to run against an uninstalled tree we
will correctly resolve files to the source tree.

b18c273a24 remote: enable connecting to the per-driver daemons
Historically URIs handled by the remote driver will always connect to
the libvirtd UNIX socket. There will now be one daemon per driver, and
each of these has its own UNIX sockets to connect to.

It will still be possible to run the traditional monolithic libvirtd
though, which will have the original UNIX socket path.

In addition there is a virproxyd daemon that doesn't run any drivers,
but provides proxying for clients accessing libvirt over IP sockets, or
tunnelling to the legacy libvirtd UNIX socket path.

Finally when running inside a daemon, the remote driver must not reject
connections unconditionally. For example, the QEMU driver needs to be
able to connect to the network driver. The remote driver must thus be
willing to handle connections even when inside the daemon, provided no
local driver is registered.

This refactoring enables the remote driver to be able to connect to the
per-driver daemons. The URI parameter "mode" accepts the values "auto",
"direct" and "legacy" to control which daemons are connected to.

The client side libvirt.conf config file also supports a "remote_mode"
setting which is used if the URI parameter is not set.

If neither the config file or URI parameter set a mode, then "auto"
is used, whereby the client looks to see which sockets actually exist
right now.

The remote driver will only ever spawn the per-driver daemons, or
the legacy libvirtd. It won't ever try to spawn virtproxyd, as
that is only there for IP based connectivity, or for access from
legacy remote clients.

If connecting to a remote host over any kind of ssh tunnel, for now we
must assume only the legacy socket exists. A future patch will introduce
a netcat replacement that is tailored for libvirt to make remote
tunnelling easier.

The configure arg '--with-remote-default-mode=legacy|direct' allows
packagers to set a default at build time. If not given, it will default
to legacy mode.

Eventually the default will switch to direct mode. Distros can choose
to do the switch earlier if desired. The main blocker is testing and
suitable SELinux/AppArmor policies.

07a9c8bae8 Revert "Separate out StateAutoStart from StateInitialize"
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1685151

This reverts commit e4a969092b.

Now that drivers may call virConnectOpen() on secondary drivers, it
doesn't make much sense to have autostart separated from driver
initialization callback. In fact, it creates a problem because one
driver during its initialization might try to fetch an object from
another driver but since the object is yet to be autostarted the fetch
fails. This has been observed in reality: qemu driver performs
qemuProcessReconnect() during qemu's stateInitialize phase which may
call virDomainDiskTranslateSourcePool() which connects to the storage
driver to look up the volume. But the storage driver did not autostart
its pools yet therefore volume lookup fails and the domain is killed.

f1bae376b7 libvirt: Fix crash on URI without scheme
My commit 0d1579572 crashes on a URI without a scheme, like via
'virsh --connect frob'

Add a check on uri->server too while we are at it, and centralize
them all

0496063f14 libvirt: Use conventional function names
do_open and winsock_init don't follow the naming pattern of other
functions in this file. Rename them to match

0d1579572a Explicitly error on uri=qemu://system
It's a fairly common error that a user tries to connect to a URI
like qemu://system or qemu://session (missing a slash). This errors
like:

$ virsh --connect qemu://session
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: Unable to resolve address 'session' service '16514': No address associated with hostname

If you already know that the standard qemu URI has 3 slashes, that
error will make it obvious enough. But new user's may not get it.
There's even a RHEL support page explicitly mentioning it!:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Virtualization_Deployment_and_Administration_Guide/sect-Troubleshooting-Common_libvirt_errors_and_troubleshooting.html

Catch this error early in libvirt.c virConnectOpen for qemu (and vbox
which has similar rules

30c61901c8 vz: build driver as module and don't register it on client's side
Make it possible to build vz driver as a module and don't link it with
libvirt.so statically.
Remove registering it on client's side as far as we start relying on daemon

fb90fcc046 livirt: Move URI alias matching to util
As we need to provide support for URI aliases in libvirt-admin as well, URI
alias matching needs to be internally visible. Since
virConnectOpenResolveURIAlias does have a compatible signature, it could be
easily reused by libvirt-admin. This patch moves URI alias matching to util,
renaming it accordingly.
