The check was historically done only for _TYPE_VOLUME disks, but
refactors to allow _TYPE_VOLUME disks in the backing chain caused a
regression where we'd reject startupPolicy also for _TYPE_BLOCK disks
which historically worked well.
Fix it by using the 'virDomainDiskDefValidateStartupPolicy' helper and
use it only when the top level image is a _TYPE_VOLUME as in other cases
it was already validated. This also allows _TYPE_BLOCK volumes to use
startup policy.

Our startup policy checkers work only for local paths, so disk sources
such as NVMe, or vhost-user can't be used with startup policy.
Unfortunately the validation did not catch these cases. Fix it.

This patch introduces the logic to format and parse remote NVRAM.
Update NVRAM element schema, and docs for supporting network backed
NVRAM. NVRAM backed over network would give the flexibility to start
the VM on any host without having to worry about where to get the latest
nvram image.
<nvram type='network'>
<source protocol='iscsi' name='iqn.2013-07.com.example:iscsi-nopool/0'>
<host name='example.com' port='6000'/>
</source>
</nvram>
or
<nvram type='file'>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/nvram/guest_VARS.fd'/>
</nvram>
In the qemu driver we will support the new definition only with qemu's
supporting -blockdev.

Since we now have a full virStorageSource for storing the nvram path we
don't need the extra dance of transferring the data into the 'pflash1'
variable which was an intermediary solution to use -blockdev.
For now we keep it functionally identical to the previous impl.

This is a partial revert of 87a43a907f
The change to use g_clear_pointer() in more places was accidentally
applied to cases involving vir_g_source_unref().
In some cases, the ordering of g_source_destroy() and
vir_g_source_unref() was reversed, which resulted in the source being
marked as destroyed, after it is already unreferenced. This
use-after-free case might work in many cases, but with versions of
glib older than 2.64.0 it may defer unref to run within the main
thread to avoid a race condition, which creates a large distance
between the g_source_unref() and g_source_destroy().
In some cases, the call to vir_g_source_unref() was replaced with a
second call to g_source_destroy(), leading to a memory leak or worse.
In our experience, the symptoms were that use of libvirt-python became
slower over time, with OpenStack nova-compute initially taking around
one second to periodically query the host PCI devices, and within an
hour it was taking over a minute to complete the same operation, until
it is was eventually running this query back-to-back, resulting in the
nova-compute process consuming 100% of one CPU thread, losing its
RabbitMQ connection frequently, and showing up as down to the control
plane.
