c160ce3316 QEMU guest agent support
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
