Add a virCgroupIsolateMount method which looks at where the
current process is place in the cgroups (eg /system/demo.lxc.libvirt)
and then remounts the cgroups such that this sub-directory
becomes the root directory from the current process' POV.

On Win32 symlink() is not available, so virstoragetest.c
must be conditionalized to avoid compile failures.

By passing the flags -z relro -z now to the linker, we can force
it to resolve all library symbols at startup, instead of on-demand.
This allows it to then make the global offset table (GOT) read-only,
which makes some security attacks harder.

PIE (position independent executable) adds security to executables
by composing them entirely of position-independent code (PIC. The
.so libraries already build with -fPIC. This adds -fPIE which is
the equivalent to -fPIC, but for executables. This for allows Exec
Shield to use address space layout randomization to prevent attackers
from knowing where existing executable code is during a security
attack using exploits that rely on knowing the offset of the
executable code in the binary, such as return-to-libc attacks.

Every source file is currently built twice by libtool, once for
the shared library and once for the static library. Static libs
are not commonly packaged by distros and slow down compilation
time by more than 50% compared to a shared-only build time.
Time for 'make -j 4':
shared only: 2 mins 9 secs
shared + static: 3 mins 26 secs
Time for non-parallel make
shared only: 3 mins 32 secs
shared + static: 5 mins 41 secs
Those few people who really want them, can pass --enable-static
to configure
Disabling them by default requires use of LT_INIT, but for
compat with RHEL5 we can't rely on that. So we conditionally
use LT_INIT, but fallback to AM_PROG_LIBTOOL if not present.
Commit c308a9ae was incomplete; it resolved the configure failure,
but not a later build failure.
* src/util/virnetdevbridge.c: Include pre-req header.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Prefer standard in.h over
non-standard ip6.h.
Some places missed the conversion from LIBCURL_{CFLAGS,LIBS} to
CURL_{CFLAGS,LIBS}, and a part of curl check was left in
configure.ac instead of m4/virt-curl.m4 by mistake
I got this scary warning during ./configure on rawhide:

* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Provide struct in6_addr, since
linux/if_bridge.h uses it without declaring it.
This patch introduces support for LXC specific public APIs. In
common with what was done for QEMU, this creates a libvirt_lxc.so
library and libvirt/libvirt-lxc.h header file.
The actual APIs are
int virDomainLxcOpenNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
int **fdlist,
unsigned int flags);
int virDomainLxcEnterNamespace(virDomainPtr domain,
unsigned int nfdlist,
int *fdlist,
unsigned int *noldfdlist,
int **oldfdlist,
unsigned int flags);
which provide a way to use the setns() system call to move the
calling process into the container's namespace. It is not
practical to write in a generically applicable manner. The
nearest that we could get to such an API would be an API which
allows to pass a command + argv to be executed inside a
container. Even if we had such a generic API, this LXC specific
API is still useful, because it allows the caller to maintain
the current process context, in particular any I/O streams they
have open.
NB the virDomainLxcEnterNamespace() API is special in that it
runs client side, so does not involve the internal driver API.

There are many aspects of the guest XML which result in the
SELinux driver applying file labelling. With the increasing
configuration options it is desirable to test this behaviour.
It is not possible to assume that the test suite has the
ability to set SELinux labels. Most filesystems though will
support extended attributes. Thus for the purpose of testing,
it is possible to extend the existing LD_PRELOAD hack to
override setfilecon() and getfilecon() to simply use the
'user.libvirt.selinux' attribute for the sake of testing.

This converts the libssh2 configure check to use LIBVIRT_CHECK_PKG.
Previously it would check version 1.0 and 1.3, but this simplifies
things to just require version 1.3
