With latest changes to qemu-ga success on some commands is not reported
anymore, e.g. guest-shutdown or guest-suspend-*. However, errors are
still being reported. Therefore, we need to find different source of
indication if operation was successful. Events.
Currently, qemu GA is not providing 'desc' field for errors like
we are used to from qemu monitor. Therefore, we fall back to this
general 'unknown error' string. However, GA is reporting 'class' which
is not perfect, but much more helpful than generic error string.
Thus we should fall back to class firstly and if even no class
is presented, then we can fall back to that generic string.
Before this patch:
virsh # dompmsuspend --target mem f16
error: Domain f16 could not be suspended
error: internal error unable to execute QEMU command
'guest-suspend-ram': unknown QEMU command error
After this patch:
virsh # dompmsuspend --target mem f16
error: Domain f16 could not be suspended
error: internal error unable to execute QEMU command
'guest-suspend-ram': The command has not been found
If we issue guest command and GA is not running, the issuing thread
will block endlessly. We can check for GA presence by issuing
guest-sync with unique ID (timestamp). We don't want to issue real
command as even if GA is not running, once it is started, it process
all commands written to GA socket.
The code is splattered with a mix of
sizeof foo
sizeof (foo)
sizeof(foo)
Standardize on sizeof(foo) and add a syntax check rule to
enforce it

There is now a standard QEMU guest agent that can be installed
and given a virtio serial channel
<channel type='unix'>
<source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/f16x86_64.agent'/>
<target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/>
</channel>
The protocol that runs over the guest agent is JSON based and
very similar to the JSON monitor. We can't use exactly the same
code because there are some odd differences in the way messages
and errors are structured. The qemu_agent.c file is based on
a combination and simplification of qemu_monitor.c and
qemu_monitor_json.c
* src/qemu/qemu_agent.c, src/qemu/qemu_agent.h: Support for
talking to the agent for shutdown
* src/qemu/qemu_domain.c, src/qemu/qemu_domain.h: Add thread
helpers for talking to the agent
* src/qemu/qemu_process.c: Connect to agent whenever starting
a guest
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c: Make variable static
