Commit 95f8e3237e which introduced XML schema validation
for snapshot XMLs always asserted the validation for the XML generated
by 'virsh snapshot-create-as' on the basis that it's libvirt-generated,
thus valid.
This unfortunately isn't true as users can influence certain bits of the
XML such as the disk image path which must be a full path. Thus if a
user tries to invoke virsh as:
$ virsh snapshot-create-as upstream --diskspec vda,file=relative.qcow2
error: XML document failed to validate against schema: Unable to validate doc against /path/to/domainsnapshot.rng
Extra element disks in interleave
Element domainsnapshot failed to validate content
They get a rather useless error from the libxml2 RNG validator.
With this fix applied, we get to the XML parser in libvirtd which has a
more reasonable error:
$ virsh snapshot-create-as upstream --diskspec vda,file=relative.qcow2
error: XML error: disk snapshot image path 'relative.qcow2' must be absolute
Instead users can force validation of the XML generated by 'virsh
snapshot-create-as' by passing the '--validate' flag.

This patch adds delay time (steal time inside guest) to libvirt
domain per-vcpu stats. Delay time is an important performance metric.
It is a consequence of the overloaded CPU. Knowledge of the delay
time of a virtual machine helps to understand if it is affected and
estimate the impact.
As a result, it is possible to react exactly when needed and
rebalance the load between hosts. This is used by cloud providers
to provide quality of service, especially when the CPU is
oversubscribed.
It's more convenient to work with this metric in a context of a
libvirt domain. Any monitoring software may use this information.

Local socket connections were outright disabled because there was no "server"
part in the URI. However, given how requirements and usage scenarios are
evolving, some management apps might need the source libvirt daemon to connect
to the destination daemon over a UNIX socket for peer2peer migration. Since we
cannot know where the socket leads (whether the same daemon or not) let's decide
that based on whether the socket path is non-standard, or rather explicitly
specified in the URI. Checking non-standard path would require to ask the
daemon for configuration and the only misuse that it would prevent would be a
pretty weird one. And that's not worth it. The assumption is that whenever
someone uses explicit UNIX socket paths in the URI for migration they better
know what they are doing.

guest OS and fully expecting the changes to be applied." (per Peter
Krempa)
For --current, existing documentation says:
"If *--current* is specified, affect the current guest state."
It's not entirely clear what states can "current" mean or imply. So
rephrase it in context of the other two related flags --live and
--config.
- While at it, I also took the liberty to replace the few occurrences

On Linux, changing the nodeset on 'numatune' does not imply that
the guest memory will be migrated on the spot to the new nodeset.
The memory migration is tied on guest usage of the memory pages,
and an idle guest will take longer to have its memory migrated
to the new nodeset.
This is a behavior explained in detail in the Linux kernel
documentation in Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v1/cpusets.rst.
The user doesn't need this level of detail though - just needs
his/her expectations under check. Running 'numastat' and hoping
for instant memory migration from the previous nodeset to the new
one is not viable.
There's also parts of the memory that are locked by QEMU in the
same place, e.g. when VFIO devices are present. Let's also
mention it as another factor that impacts the results the
user might expect from NUMA memory migration with numatune.

The previous "QEMU shim" proof of concept was taking an approach of only
caring about initial spawning of the QEMU process. It was then
registered with the libvirtd daemon who took over management of it. The
intent was that later libvirtd would be refactored so that the shim
retained control over the QEMU monitor and libvirt just forwarded APIs
to each shim as needed. This forwarding of APIs would require quite alot
of significant refactoring of libvirtd to achieve.
This impl thus takes a quite different approach, explicitly deciding to
keep the VMs completely separate from those seen & managed by libvirtd.
Instead it uses the new "qemu:///embed" URI scheme to embed the entire
QEMU driver in the shim, running with a custom root directory.
Once the driver is initialization, the shim starts a VM and then waits
to shutdown automatically when QEMU shuts down, or should kill QEMU if
it is terminated itself. This ought to use the AUTO_DESTROY feature but
that is not yet available in embedded mode, so we rely on installing a
few signal handlers to gracefully kill QEMU. This isn't reliable if
we crash of course, but you can restart with the same root dir.
Note this program does not expose any way to manage the QEMU process,
since there's no RPC interface enabled. It merely starts the VM and
cleans up when the guest shuts down at the end. This program is
installed to /usr/bin/virt-qemu-run enabling direct use by end users.
Most use cases will probably want to integrate the concept directly
into their respective application codebases. This standalone binary
serves as a nice demo though, and also provides a way to measure
performance of the startup process quite simply.
