753346c5dd logging: avoid variables called 'daemon' due to function clash
With some versions of GLibC / GCC, a variable called 'daemon'
will result in a warning about clashing with the function also
named 'daemon'. Rename it to 'dmn' to avoid the clash.

19e5db4ae2 logging: introduce log handling protocol
Define a new RPC protocol for the virtlogd daemon that provides
for handling of logs. The initial RPC method defined allows a
client to obtain a file handle to use for writing to a log
file for a guest domain. The file handle passed back will not
actually refer to the log file, but rather an anonymous pipe.
The virtlogd daemon will forward I/O between them, ensuring
file rotation happens when required.

Initially the log setup is hardcoded to cap log files at
128 KB, and keep 3 backups when rolling over, which gives
a max usage of 512 KB per guest.

323a329b26 Import stripped down virtlockd code as basis of virtlogd
Copy the virtlockd codebase across to form the initial virlogd
code. Simple search & replace of s/lock/log/ and gut the remote
protocol & dispatcher. This gives us a daemon that starts up
and listens for connections, but does nothing with them.
