4e00b1da8a Introduce generic RPC server objects
To facilitate creation of new daemons providing XDR RPC services,
pull a lot of the libvirtd daemon code into a set of reusable
objects.

 * virNetServer: A server contains one or more services which
   accept incoming clients. It maintains the list of active
   clients. It has a list of RPC programs which can be used
   by clients. When clients produce a complete RPC message,
   the server passes this onto the corresponding program for
   handling, and queues any response back with the client.

 * virNetServerClient: Encapsulates a single client connection.
   All I/O for the client is handled, reading & writing RPC
   messages.

 * virNetServerProgram: Handles processing and dispatch of
   RPC method calls for a single RPC (program,version).
   Multiple programs can be registered with the server.

 * virNetServerService: Encapsulates socket(s) listening for
   new connections. Each service listens on a single host/port,
   but may have multiple sockets if on a dual IPv4/6 host.

Each new daemon now merely has to define the list of RPC procedures
& their handlers. It does not need to deal with any network related
functionality at all.
