5f75ec90fe rpc: remove use of the term 'whitelist' from RPC code
The term "access control list" better describes the concept involved.

5a148ce846 remote: delete the avahi mDNS support
Libvirtd has long had integration with avahi for advertising libvirtd
using mDNS when TCP/TLS listening is enabled. For a long time the
virt-manager application had support for auto-detecting libvirtds
on the local network using mDNS, but this was removed last year

    connect: Drop avahi support

    Libvirtd can advertise itself over avahi. The feature is disabled by
    default though and in practice I hear of no one actually using it
    and frankly I don't think it's all that useful

    The 'Open Connection' wizard has a disproportionate amount of code
    devoted to this feature, but I don't think it's useful or worth
    maintaining, so let's drop it

I've never heard of any other applications having support for using
mDNS to detect libvirtd instances. Though it is theoretically possible
something exists out there, it is clearly going to be a niche use case
in the virt ecosystem as a whole.

By removing avahi integration we can cut down the dependency chain for
the basic libvirtd install and reduce our code maint burden.

b1c81567c7 docs: switch to using HTML5 doctype declaration
The HTML5 doctype is simply

  <!DOCTYPE html>

no DTD is present because HTML5 is no longer defined as an
extension of SGML.

XSL has no way to natively output a doctype without a public
or system identifier, so we have to use an <xsl:text> hack
instead.

4e42ff6b7e docs: switch to using 'id' attribute instead of 'name' for links
The 'name' attribute on <a...> elements is deprecated in favour
of the 'id' attribute which is allowed on any element. HTML5
drops 'name' support entirely.

538a5feada rpc.html.in: Kill useless spaces in <pre/>
The <pre/> section is rendered as-is on the page. That is, if all
the lines are prefixed with 4 spaces the rendered page will also
have them. Problem is if we put a box around such <pre/> because
the content might not fix into it.

f2f9742d4d Fix multiple formatting problems in HTML docs
The rule generating the HTML docs passing the --html flag
to xsltproc. This makes it use the legacy HTML parser, which
either ignores or tries to fix all sorts of broken XML tags.
There's no reason why we should be writing broken XML in
the first place, so removing --html and adding the XHTML
doctype to all files forces us to create good XML.

This adds the XHTML doc type and fixes many, many XML tag
problems it exposes.

1bf25ba249 docs: fix usage of 'onto'
http://www.uhv.edu/ac/newsletters/writing/grammartip2009.07.01.htm
(and several other sites) give hints that 'onto' is best used if
you can also add 'up' just before it and still make sense. In many
cases in the code base, we really want the two-word form, or even
a simplification to just 'on' or 'to'.

* docs/hacking.html.in: Use correct 'on to'.
* python/libvirt-override.c: Likewise.
* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c: Likewise.
* src/util/virpci.c: Likewise.
* daemon/THREADS.txt: Use simpler 'on'.
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Better usage.
* docs/internals/rpc.html.in: Likewise.

b0f996a6b1 Extend RPC protocol to allow FD passing
Define two new RPC message types VIR_NET_CALL_WITH_FDS and
VIR_NET_REPLY_WITH_FDS. These message types are equivalent
to VIR_NET_CALL and VIR_NET_REPLY, except that between the
message header, and payload there is a 32-bit integer field
specifying how many file descriptors have been passed.

The actual file descriptors are sent/recv'd out of band.

* src/rpc/virnetmessage.c, src/rpc/virnetmessage.h,
  src/libvirt_private.syms: Add support for handling
  passed file descriptors
* src/rpc/virnetprotocol.x: Extend protocol for FD
