648c11c04c docs: Make anchors follow HTML5
According to HTML specification, <a name=''> works in HTML4, but
<a id=''> works in both HTML4 and HTML5. This is followed even in
docs/page.xsl where HTML bookmark links are generated only for
those anchors which have @id attribute.

464a41bc0d qemu: delete methods which are no longer supported
The public API entry points will report VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT to the
caller when a driver does not provide an implementation of a particular
method.

When deleting methods, leaving the driver API entry point explicitly
set to NULL with an version range comment, allows the hvsupport.html
page to document when the AP was removed.

fd14dfec88 docs: hvsupport: Add support for deprecating hypervisor implementations
Allow expressing that a hypervisor implementation was deleted by adding
a end-version when the implementation was removed to our hypervisor
support matrix.

This patch hacks the perl script that generates the support matrix to
support comments like:

.domainQemuAttach = qemuDomainQemuAttach, /* 0.8.3 (deprecated: 5.5.0) */

20ad55a8fd driver: introduce a driver method for probing default URIs
Currently the virDrvConnectOpen method is supposed to handle both
opening an explicit URI and auto-probing a driver if no URI is
given. Introduce a dedicated virDrvConnectURIProbe method to enable the
probing functionality to be split from the driver opening functionality.

It is still possible for NULL to be passed to the virDrvConnectOpen
method after this change, because the remote driver needs special
handling to enable probing of the URI against a remote libvirtd daemon.

This is particularly useful on operating systems that don't ship

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.

f1bbf57cad hvsupport: skip non-matching lines early
Most of the lines we look at are not going to match one of the
driver types contained in $groups_regex.

Move on to the next line if it does not contain any of them early.
This speeds up the script execution by 50%, since this simple regex
does not have any capture groups.

6dc1f10347 hvsupport: construct the group regex upfront
The %groups hash contains all the driver types (e.g.
virHypervisorDriver or virSecretDriver).

When searching for all the APIs that are implemented by a driver
of that specific driver type, we keep iterating over the %groups
hash on every line we look at, then matching against the driver type.

This is inefficient because it prevents perl from caching the regex
and it executes the regex once for every driver type, even though
one regex matching excludes all the others, since all the driver types
are different.

Construct the regex containing all the driver types upfront to save
about 6.4s (~98%) of the script execution time.

ad9e72f5fa hvsupport: use a regex instead of XML::XPath
When generating the hvsupport.html.in file, we parse the -api.xml
files generated by apibuild.py to know in which HTML file the API
function is.

Doing an XPath query for every single 'function' element in the
file is inefficient.

Since the XML file is generated by another of our build scripts
(apibuild.py, using Python's standard 'output.write' XML library),
just find the function name->file mapping by a regex upfront.

Also add a note about this next to the line that generates it
in apibuild.py and do not check if XML::XPath is installed in
bootstrap since we no longer use it.

3d1596b048 Introduce an LXC specific public API & library
This patch introduces support for LXC specific public APIs. In
common with what was done for QEMU, this creates a libvirt_lxc.so
library and libvirt/libvirt-lxc.h header file.

The actual APIs are

  int virDomainLxcOpenNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
                                int **fdlist,
                                unsigned int flags);

  int virDomainLxcEnterNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
                                 unsigned int nfdlist,
                                 int *fdlist,
                                 unsigned int *noldfdlist,
                                 int **oldfdlist,
                                 unsigned int flags);

which provide a way to use the setns() system call to move the
calling process into the container's namespace. It is not
practical to write in a generically applicable manner. The
nearest that we could get to such an API would be an API which
allows to pass a command + argv to be executed inside a
container. Even if we had such a generic API, this LXC specific
API is still useful, because it allows the caller to maintain
the current process context, in particular any I/O streams they
have open.

NB the virDomainLxcEnterNamespace() API is special in that it
runs client side, so does not involve the internal driver API.

65043d2dff Introduce yet another migration version in API.
Migration just seems to go from bad to worse. We already had to
introduce a second migration protocol when adding the QEMU driver,
since the one from Xen was insufficiently flexible to cope with
passing the data the QEMU driver required.

It turns out that this protocol still has some flaws that we
need to address. The current sequence is

 *  Src: DumpXML
          - Generate XML to pass to dst

 *  Dst: Prepare
          - Get ready to accept incoming VM
          - Generate optional cookie to pass to src

 *  Src: Perform
          - Start migration and wait for send completion
          - Kill off VM if successful, resume if failed

 *  Dst: Finish
          - Wait for recv completion and check status
          - Kill off VM if unsuccessful

The problems with this are:

 - Since the first step is a generic 'DumpXML' call, we can't
   add in other migration specific data. eg, we can't include
   any VM lease data from lock manager plugins
 - Since the first step is a generic 'DumpXML' call, we can't
   emit any 'migration begin' event on the source, or have
   any hook that runs right at the start of the process
 - Since there is no final step on the source, if the Finish
   method fails to receive all migration data & has to kill
   the VM, then there's no way to resume the original VM
   on the source

This patch attempts to introduce a version 3 that uses the
improved 5 step sequence

 *  Src: Begin
          - Generate XML to pass to dst
          - Generate optional cookie to pass to dst

 *  Dst: Prepare
          - Get ready to accept incoming VM
          - Generate optional cookie to pass to src

 *  Src: Perform
          - Start migration and wait for send completion
          - Generate optional cookie to pass to dst

 *  Dst: Finish
          - Wait for recv completion and check status
          - Kill off VM if failed, resume if success
          - Generate optional cookie to pass to src

 *  Src: Confirm
          - Kill off VM if success, resume if failed

The API is designed to allow both input and output cookies
in all methods where applicable. This lets us pass around
arbitrary extra driver specific data between src & dst during
migration. Combined with the extra 'Begin' method this lets
us pass lease information from source to dst at the start of
migration

Moving the killing of the source VM out of Perform and
into Confirm, means we can now recover if the dst host
can't successfully Finish receiving migration data.
