So, if domain loses access to storage, sanlock tries to kill it
after some timeout. So far, the default is 80 seconds. But for
some scenarios this might not be enough. We should allow users to
adjust the timeout according to their needs.

A sanlock lease can be marked as shared (rather
than exclusive) using SANLK_RES_SHARED flag. This
adds support for that flag and ensures that in auto
disk mode, any shared disks use shared leases. This
also makes any read-only disks be completely
ignored.
These changes remove the need for the option
ignore_readonly_and_shared_disks
so that is removed

The current sanlock plugin requires a central management
application to manually add <lease> elements to each guest,
to protect resources that are assigned to it (eg writable
disks). This makes the sanlock plugin useless for usage
in more ad hoc deployment environments where there is no
central authority to associate disks with leases.
This patch adds a mode where the sanlock plugin will
automatically create leases for each assigned read-write
disk, using a md5 checksum of the fully qualified disk
path. This can work pretty well if guests are using
stable disk paths for block devices eg /dev/disk/by-path/XXXX
symlinks, or if all hosts have NFS volumes mounted in
a consistent pattern.
The plugin will create one lockspace for managing disks
with filename /var/lib/libvirt/sanlock/__LIBVIRT__DISKS__.
For each VM disks, there will be another file to hold
a lease /var/lib/libvirt/sanlock/5903e5d25e087e60a20fe4566fab41fd
Each VM disk lease is usually 1 MB in size. The script
virt-sanlock-cleanup should be run periodically to remove
unused lease files from the lockspace directory.
To make use of this capability the admin will need to do
several tasks:
- Mount an NFS volume (or other shared filesystem)
on /var/lib/libvirt/sanlock
- Configure 'host_id' in /etc/libvirt/qemu-sanlock.conf
with a unique value for each host with the same NFS
mount
- Toggle the 'auto_disk_leases' parameter in qemu-sanlock.conf
Technically the first step can be skipped, in which case
sanlock will only protect against 2 vms on the same host
using the same disk (or the same VM being started twice
due to error by libvirt).

src/locking/test_libvirt_sanlock.aug: Add config params
for configuring auto lease setup

* tools/virt-sanlock-cleanup.in: Script to purge unused
disk resource lease files
Introduce a configuration file with a single parameter
'require_lease_for_disks', which is used to decide whether
it is allowed to start a guest which has read/write disks,
but without any leases.
