Introduce command 'virsh domstats --dirtyrate' for reporting memory
dirty rate information. The info is listed as:

Domain: 'vm0'
  dirtyrate.calc_status=2
  dirtyrate.calc_start_time=1534523
  dirtyrate.calc_period=1
  dirtyrate.megabytes_per_second=5

fd2bd98852 manpages: Remove reference to a session daemon for libxl
The libxl driver has no session daemon therefore its split daemon
(virtxend) has to be ran as root. Any attempt to start it with
euid != 0 fails. This is why the daemon does not look under any
of XDG_* paths either.

4719ec15e9 qemu: add per-vcpu delay stats
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.

1d9d9961ad vircgroup: enforce range limit for cpu.shares
Before the conversion to using systemd DBus API to set the cpu.shares
there was some magic conversion done by kernel which was documented in
virsh manpage as well. Now systemd errors out if the value is out of
range.

Since we enforce the range for other cpu cgroup attributes 'quota' and
'period' it makes sense to do the same for 'shares' as well.

c69915ccaf peer2peer migration: allow connecting to local sockets
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.

7a706b02ed manpages/virsh: A couple of small clarifications
Changes:

  - Update the descriptions of --current & --config flags.

    For --config, the reason to rephrase "next boot" to "next start"
    is: "Next boot may still imply somebody selecting "reboot" in the
    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
    of "peristent domain[s]" with "persistent guest[s]"

Fix all occurrences (i.e. as many as I could spot) of this.

(Thanks: Dan Berrangé on IRC.)

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.

d600667278 qemu: introduce a new "virt-qemu-run" program
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.
