40780d1a4c docs: introduce rst2man as a mandatory tool for building docs
The rst2man tool is provided by python docutils, and as the name
suggests, it converts RST documents into man pages.

The intention is that our current POD docs will be converted to
RST format, allowing one more use of Perl to be eliminated from
libvirt.

The manual pages will now all be kept in the docs/manpages/ directory,
which enables us to include the man pages in the published website.
This is good for people searching for libvirt man pages online as it
makes it more likely google will send them to the libvirt.org instead
of some random third party man page site with outdated content.

252958ee16 backup: Document new XML for backups
Prepare for new backup APIs by describing the XML that will represent
a backup.  The XML resembles snapshots and checkpoints in being able
to select actions for a set of disks, but has other differences.  It
can support both push model (the hypervisor does the backup directly
into the destination file) and pull model (the hypervisor exposes an
access port for a third party to grab what is necessary).  Add
testsuite coverage for some minimal uses of the XML.

The <disk> element within <domainbackup> tries to model the same
elements as a <disk> under <domain>, but sharing the RNG grammar
proved to be hairy. That is in part because while <domain> use
<source> to describe a host resource in use by the guest, a backup job
is using a host resource that is not visible to the guest: a push
backup action is instead describing a <target> (which ultimately could
be a remote network resource, but for simplicity the RNG just
validates a local file for now), and a pull backup action is instead
describing a temporary local file <scratch> (which probably should not
be a remote resource).  A future refactoring may thus introduce some
way to parameterize RNG to accept <disk type='FOO'>...</disk> so that
the name of the subelement can be <source> for domain, or <target> or
<scratch> as needed for backups. Future patches may improve this area
of code.

6430c00552 conf: pass in default architecture via domain XML options
When parsing the guest XML we must fill in the default guest arch if it
is not already present because later parts of the parsing process need
this information.

If no arch is specified we lookup the first guest in the capabilities
data matching the os type and virt type. In most cases this will result
in picking the host architecture but there are some exceptions...

 - The test driver is hardcoded to always use i686 arch
 - The VMWare/ESX drivers will always place i686 guests ahead
   of x86_64 guests in capabilities, so effectively they always
   use i686
 - The QEMU driver can potentially return any arch at all
   depending on what combination of QEMU binaries are installed.

The domain XML hardware configurations are inherently architecture
specific in many places. As a result whomever/whatever created the
domain XML will have had a particular architecture in mind when
specifying the config. In pretty much any sensible case this arch
will have been the native host architecture. i686 on x86_64 is
the only sensible divergance because both these archs are
compatible from a domaain XML config POV.

IOW, although the QEMU driver can pick an almost arbitrary arch as its
default, in the real world no application or user is likely to be
relying on this default arch being anything other than native.

With all this in mind, it is reasonable to change the XML parser to
allow the default architecture to be passed via the domain XML options
struct. If no info is explicitly given then it is safe & sane to pick
the host native architecture as the default for the guest.

Most importantly we document the required heading markup so that we get
consistency across the docs. Also mention that docs should have a table
of contents if they have headings & are likely longer than one page of
text.

The 3-space indent rule may sound wierd, but that's what python has
recommended and thus what tools like pandoc emit. Rather than try to
reindent things to 4-space, just accept this RST norm.

eb7388b549 docs: relax CSS context match for pretty tables
We currently only render pretty tables if they have the "top_table"
class set. All of our tables set this, except for the ACL & migration
doc tables, which should have set it, and the API reference which does
not want it.

Simplify life by rendering all tables in a pretty style and remove the
need for the "top_table" class entirely. A small rule turns off the
pretty style for the API reference where tables are a hack used to
render enums with horizontal alignment.

    docs: generate API reference pages for admin, qemu & lxc libraries

we have many rules generating files into docs/html/. The xmllint
calls for each rule are picking up files which are part-generated by
other parallel build rules resulting in transient errors like:

  GEN      html/index.html
  GEN      html/index-admin.html
  GEN      html/index-qemu.html
  GEN      html/index-lxc.html

html/index-lxc.html:1: parser error : Document is empty

^
make[4]: *** [Makefile:2407: html/index-qemu.html] Error 1

The easiest solution is to move the xmllint rules to the 'make check'
phase of the build.
