The aim of virSecurity rule is to discourage from using plain
virSecurityManager*() APIs within QEMU driver in favor of their
qemuSecurity*() counterparts. The reason is simple: namespaces;
virSecurityManager*() needs additional
virSecurityManagerTransactionCommit() call to enter given
namespace and do its work from there. And that's exactly what
those qemuSecurity*() wrappers do.
To help us ensure correctness (from this POV), we have a
syntax-check rule that forbids any occurrence of
"virSecurityManager" string under src/qemu/ (except for
qemu_security of course).
But with if we want to remove virSecurityManagerPtr type, then we
have to allow "virSecurityManager *". Therefore, change the rule
so that no call of a function with "virSecurityManager" prefix is
allowed. And also change the name to better reflect what is going
on.

Trying to report an OOM error is pointless since our infrastructure to
report error needs to allocate memory to report the error.
In addition our code mistakenly reported OOM errors even in cases where
a function could fail for another reason, which would make issues harder
to debug.
Remove the virReportOOMError and backend so that programmers are forced
to think about what can happen. In case when there's another failure
possible a specific error should be reported and otherwise a direct
abort() is better since the logger would abort on g_new anyways.
This patch also removes the syntas-check which forces use of
virReportOOMError instead of using VIR_ERR_NO_MEMORY with other
functions. This allows possible future use when we'd end up in a
situation where trying to recover from an OOM would make sense, such as
when attempting to allocate a massive buffer.

When accessing libvirtd over a SSH tunnel, the remote driver needs a way
to proxy the SSH input/output stream to a suitable libvirt daemon. This
is currently done by spawning netcat, pointing it to the libvirtd socket
path. This is problematic for a number of reasons:
- The socket path varies according to the --prefix chosen at build
time. The remote client is seeing the local prefix, but what we
need is the remote prefix
- The socket path varies according to remote env variables, such as
the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR location. Again we see the local XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
value, but what we need is the remote value (if any)
- The remote driver doesn't know whether it must connect to the legacy
libvirtd or the modular daemons, so must always assume legacy
libvirtd for back-compat. This means we'll always end up using the
virtproxyd daemon adding an extra hop in the RPC layer.
- We can not able to autospawn the libvirtd daemon for session mode
access
To address these problems this patch introduces the 'virtd-ssh-helper'
program which takes the URI for the remote driver as a CLI parameter.
It then figures out which daemon to connect to and its socket path,
using the same code that the remote driver client would on the remote
host's build of libvirt.

Until now we've tried to report errors from the test monitor code by
passing them back as failures from the qemu we simulate. This doesn't
work well in cases when the monitor logic does not detect failures or
has fallback code. Additionally there isn't much use for continuing the
test execution after first failure as in most cases the test data will
be misaligned and all other calls will fail as well.
To make the errors more obvious this patch moves away from reporting
them via the simulated monitor to reporting them to stderr and
exit()ing afterwards. While this might be less convenient
when developing tests it actually makes failures in the test suite
really obvious and doesn't require any opt-in from the tests themselves.

The libvirt-glib project has provided a GMainContext based
event loop impl for applications. This imports it and sets
it up for use by libvirt as the primary event loop. This
remains a private impl detail of libvirt.
IOW, applications must *NOT* assume that a call to
"virEventRegisterDefaultImpl" results in a GLib based
event loop. They should continue to use the libvirt-glib
API gvir_event_register() if they explicitly want to
guarantee a GLib event loop.
This follows the general principle that the libvirt public
API should not expose the fact that GLib is being used

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.
