08376431b4 docs: fix libvirt go-import metadata in pages and links in 404 page
The meson conversion lost the <meta> tags providing the go-import,
because the "$pagename" variable lost the .html suffix. Rather
than fix that, just change to using "$pagesrc" instead, as it is a
better fit.

The 404 page also needs to use absolute links to work correctly for
pages in sub-folders.

fdc0d13b2c docs: formatdomain: Convert to rst
For now just plain conversion to rst. Anchors which existed until now
are preserved, but the table of contents now uses the docutils-generated
ones.

Additionally <code> which was nested in a link (<a>) was removed as rst
doesn't support nesting of inline markup.

The only anchor which wasn't restored is
'elementsDiskBackingStoreIndex' and its only reference was removed.

862cf2ace4 docs: build: Use proper path to file in 'contribute' link
NEWS.rst is based in the root of the repository and 'hvsupport.html'
doesn't have a backing file which can be edited since it's fully
generated. Our 'contribute -> edit this page' link on the bottom of the
page is wrong in those cases.

Fix it by adding the contribute section only when there's a source and
base the 'source' of a html file in the root of the repository.

Along with that we need to modify the scripts/meson-html-gen.py script
to accept optional 'pagesrc' and the XSL template to skip the
'contribute' section when we don't have a source.

493d2769f2 qemu: add support for shmem-{plain, doorbell} role
Role(master or peer) controls how the domain behaves on migration.
For more details about migration with ivshmem, see
https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/system/ivshmem.rst;hb=HEAD

It's a optional attribute in libvirt, and qemu will choose default
role for ivshmem device if the user is not specified.

With device property 'role', the value can be 'master' or 'peer'.
 - 'master' (means 'master=on' in qemu), the guest will copy
   the shared memory on migration to the destination host.
 - 'peer' (means 'master=off' in qemu), the migration is disabled.

866bb99644 docs: point out that locals should be defined at the top of a block of code
Although we have nothing in make syntax-check to enforce this, and
apparently there are places where it isn't the case (according to
Dan), we should discourage the practice of defining new variables in
the middle of a block of code.

062f233b17 docs: drop %.png: %.fig rule
convert bin is part of ImageMagick package and uses uniconvertor to
create png file from fig files.

Unfortunately uniconvertor is python2 only and not available in most
recent distributions which makes the convert command fail with:

sh: uniconvertor: command not found
/usr/bin/mv: cannot stat '/tmp/magick-1397138DRT8Pzx4Qmoc.svg': No such file or directory
convert: delegate failed `'uniconvertor' '%i' '%o.svg'; /usr/bin/mv '%o.svg' '%o'' @ error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1958.

convert: no images defined `docs/migration-managed-direct.png' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3226.

It looks like that there are plans to somehow port uniconvertor into
python3 but as part of different project color-picker but the job is
far from complete.

7e5b993d3b backup: Allow configuring incremental backup per-disk individually
The semantics of the backup operation don't strictly require that all
disks being backed up are part of the same incremental part (when a disk
was checkpointed/backed up separately or in a different VM), or even
they may not have a previous checkpoint at all (e.g. when the disk
was freshly hotplugged to the vm).

In such cases we can still create a common checkpoint for all of them
and backup differences according to configuration.

This patch adds a per-disk configuration of the checkpoint to do the
incremental backup from via the 'incremental' attribute and allows
perform full backups via the 'backupmode' attribute.

Note that no changes to the qemu driver are necessary to take advantage
of this as we already obey the per-disk 'incremental' field.

f1d7d6c2cf docs: documentation and schema for the new TPM Proxy model
QEMU 4.1.0 introduced a new device type called TPM Proxy, currently
implemented by PPC64 guests via a new virtual device called
'spapr-tpm-proxy' (see QEMU 0fb6bd073230 for more info).

The TPM Proxy device interacts with a TPM Resource Manager, a host
device capable of multiplexing the host TPM with multiple processes.
This allows multiple guests to access some TPM features at the
same time. Note that this mode of operation does not provide
full TPM features to be available for the guest - for that case
the guest still needs to assign a vTPM device (tpm-spapr for
PPC64 guests). Although redundant, there is currently no technical
limitation for a guest to assign both a vTPM and a TPM Proxy at the
same time.

This patch adds documentation and schema for a new TPM model
type called 'spapr-tpm-proxy' that creates this new TPM Proxy
device. This model is valid only for the 'passthrough' backend.
An example of a TPM Proxy device connected to a TPM Resource Manager
'/dev/tpmrm0' will look like this:

<tpm model='spapr-tpm-proxy'>
  <backend type='passthrough'>
    <device path='/dev/tpmrm0'/>
  </backend>
</tpm>

3a58613b0c manpages/virsh.rst: clarify numatune memory migration on Linux
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.

f45735786a news: Add information about old releases
Until libvirt 2.5.0 we didn't have a real process for release
notes in place, and we just published the list of commits that
had made it into each release, dividing them into categories that
mostly matched the sections we use today. Those documents haven't
been relevant for years, but they're still in the git repository
and collectively take up almost 2 MiB of disk space.

Let's import the only valuable piece of information they contain,
the release date for each libvirt versions, into the current
document and then drop them for good.

dcd14c88a1 news: Convert to reStructuredText
Instead of storing release notes as XML and then converting them
to HTML and ASCII at build time using XSLT and a custom script,
we can use reStructuredText as both the source and ASCII
representation and generate HTML from it using the same tooling
we already use for the rest of the documentation.
