590029f672 Introduce new OOM testing support
The previous OOM testing support would re-run the entire "main"
method each iteration, failing a different malloc each time.
When a test suite has 'n' allocations, the number of repeats
requires is  (n * (n + 1) ) / 2.  This gets very large, very
quickly.

This new OOM testing support instead integrates at the
virtTestRun level, so each individual test case gets repeated,
instead of the entire test suite. This means the values of
'n' are orders of magnitude smaller.

The simple usage is

   $ VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ./qemuxml2argvtest
   ...
   29) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-utc                                         ... OK
       Test OOM for nalloc=36 .................................... OK
   30) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-localtime                                   ... OK
       Test OOM for nalloc=36 .................................... OK
   31) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-france                                      ... OK
       Test OOM for nalloc=38 ...................................... OK
   ...

the second lines reports how many mallocs have to be failed, and thus
how many repeats of the test will be run.

If it crashes, then running under valgrind will often show the problem

  $ VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest

When debugging problems it is also helpful to select an individual
test case

  $ VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest

When things get really tricky, it is possible to request that just
specific allocs are failed. eg to fail allocs 5 -> 12, use

  $ VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1:5-12 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest

In the worse case, you might want to know the stack trace of the
alloc which was failed then VIR_TEST_OOM_TRACE can be set. If it
is set to 1 then it will only print if it thinks a mistake happened.
This is often not reliable, so setting it to 2 will make it print
the stack trace for every alloc that is failed.

  $ VIR_TEST_OOM_TRACE=2 VIR_TEST_RANGE=30 VIR_TEST_OOM=1:5-5 ../run valgrind ./qemuxml2argvtest
  30) QEMU XML-2-ARGV clock-localtime                                   ... OK
      Test OOM for nalloc=36 !virAllocN

f2f9742d4d Fix multiple formatting problems in HTML docs
The rule generating the HTML docs passing the --html flag
to xsltproc. This makes it use the legacy HTML parser, which
either ignores or tries to fix all sorts of broken XML tags.
There's no reason why we should be writing broken XML in
the first place, so removing --html and adding the XHTML
doctype to all files forces us to create good XML.

This adds the XHTML doc type and fixes many, many XML tag
problems it exposes.

1bf25ba249 docs: fix usage of 'onto'
http://www.uhv.edu/ac/newsletters/writing/grammartip2009.07.01.htm
(and several other sites) give hints that 'onto' is best used if
you can also add 'up' just before it and still make sense. In many
cases in the code base, we really want the two-word form, or even
a simplification to just 'on' or 'to'.

* docs/hacking.html.in: Use correct 'on to'.
* python/libvirt-override.c: Likewise.
* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c: Likewise.
* src/util/virpci.c: Likewise.
* daemon/THREADS.txt: Use simpler 'on'.

c9ace552eb command: allow merging stdout and stderr in string capture
Sometimes, its easier to run children with 2>&1 in shell notation,
and just deal with stdout and stderr interleaved.  This was already
possible for fd handling; extend it to also work when doing string
capture of a child process.

(virCommandRun, virExecWithHook): Implement it.
* tests/commandtest.c (test14): Test it.

b0f996a6b1 Extend RPC protocol to allow FD passing
Define two new RPC message types VIR_NET_CALL_WITH_FDS and
VIR_NET_REPLY_WITH_FDS. These message types are equivalent
to VIR_NET_CALL and VIR_NET_REPLY, except that between the
message header, and payload there is a 32-bit integer field
specifying how many file descriptors have been passed.

The actual file descriptors are sent/recv'd out of band.

* src/rpc/virnetmessage.c, src/rpc/virnetmessage.h,
  src/libvirt_private.syms: Add support for handling
  passed file descriptors
* src/rpc/virnetprotocol.x: Extend protocol for FD
  passing

e208c38b49 command: introduce virPidWait, virPidAbort

NULL for the pid argument in the first place.

cc5e2a849c command: improve behavior on no output
Guarantee that outbuf/errbuf are allocated on success, even if to the
empty string.  Caller always has to free the result, and empty output
check requires checking if *outbuf=='\0'.  Makes the API easier to use
safely.  Failure is best effort allocation (some paths, like
out-of-memory, cannot allocate a buffer, but most do), so caller must
free buffer on failure.

* docs/internals/command.html.in: Update documentation.
* src/util/command.c (virCommandSetOutputBuffer)
(virCommandSetErrorBuffer, virCommandProcessIO) Guarantee empty
string on no output.
* tests/commandtest.c (test17): New test.
