e886237af5 Enhance the streams helper to support plain file I/O
The O_NONBLOCK flag doesn't work as desired on plain files
or block devices. Introduce an I/O helper program that does
the blocking I/O operations, communicating over a pipe that
can support O_NONBLOCK

* src/fdstream.c, src/fdstream.h: Add non-blocking I/O
  on plain files/block devices
* src/Makefile.am, src/util/iohelper.c: I/O helper program
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c, src/lxc/lxc_driver.c,
  src/uml/uml_driver.c, src/xen/xen_driver.c: Update for
  streams API change

e67ae61991 build: avoid close, system
* src/fdstream.c (virFDStreamOpenFile, virFDStreamCreateFile):
Use VIR_FORCE_CLOSE instead of close.
* tests/commandtest.c (mymain): Likewise.
* tools/virsh.c (editFile): Use virCommand instead of system.
* src/util/util.c (__virExec): Special case preservation of std
file descriptors to child.

7c08fcc439 Add a generic internal API for handling any FD based stream
To avoid the need for duplicating implementations of virStream
drivers, provide a generic implementation that can handle any
FD based stream. This code is copied from the existing impl
in the QEMU driver, with the locking moved into the stream
impl, and addition of a read callback

The FD stream code will refuse to operate on regular files or
block devices, since those can't report EAGAIN properly when
they would block on I/O

* include/libvirt/virterror.h, include/libvirt/virterror.h: Add
  VIR_FROM_STREAM error domain
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Remove code obsoleted by the new
  generic streams driver.
* src/fdstream.h, src/fdstream.c, src/fdstream.c,
  src/libvirt_private.syms: Generic reusable FD based streams
