In 48d9e6cdcc and friends we've allowed users to back guest
memory by a file inside the host. And in order to keep things
manageable the memory_backing_dir variable was introduced to
qemu.conf to specify the directory where the files are kept.
However, libvirt's policy is that directories are created on
domain startup if they don't exist. We've missed this one.

Similar to scsi_host and fc_host, there is a relation between a
scsi_target and its transport specific fc_remote_port. Let's expose this
relation and relevant information behind it.
An example for a virsh nodedev-dumpxml:
virsh # nodedev-dumpxml scsi_target0_0_0
<device>
<name>scsi_target0_0_0</name>
<path>/sys/devices/[...]/host0/rport-0:0-0/target0:0:0</path>
<parent>scsi_host0</parent>
<capability type='scsi_target'>
<target>target0:0:0</target>
<capability type='fc_remote_port'>
<rport>rport-0:0-0</rport>

Now that the node_device driver is aware of CCW devices, let's hook up
virsh so that we can filter them properly.

Make CCW devices available to the node_device driver. The devices are
already seen by udev so let's implement necessary code for detecting
them properly.
Topologically, CCW devices are similar to PCI devices, e.g.:
+- ccw_0_0_1a2b
|
+- scsi_host0
|
+- scsi_target0_0_0
|
+- scsi_0_0_0_0

Commit 6fb5dd4fd8 removed docs/archnetwork.html.in, but
left behind a pointer to it in docs/formatnetwork.html.in.
Update it so that it points to the wiki, which contains
more detailed and recent information anyway.
Start discovering the mediated devices on the host system and format the
attributes for the mediated device into the XML. Compared to the parent
device which reports generic information about the abstract mediated
devices types, a child device only reports the type name it has been
instantiated from and the IOMMU group number, since that's device
specific compared to the rest of the info that can be gathered about
mediated devices at the moment.
This patch introduces both the formatting and parsing routines, updates
nodedev.rng schema, adding a testcase as well.
The resulting mdev child device XML:
<device>
<name>mdev_4b20d080_1b54_4048_85b3_a6a62d165c01</name>
<path>/sys/devices/.../4b20d080-1b54-4048-85b3-a6a62d165c01</path>

<capability type='mdev'>

The parent device needs to report the generic stuff about the supported
mediated devices types, like device API, available instances, type name,
etc. Therefore this patch introduces a new nested capability element of
type 'mdev_types' with the resulting XML of the following format:
<device>
...
<capability type='pci'>
...
<capability type='mdev_types'>
<type id='vendor_supplied_id'>
<name>optional_vendor_supplied_codename</name>
<deviceAPI>vfio-pci</deviceAPI>
<availableInstances>NUM</availableInstances>
</type>

The parser had been clearing out *all* suggested device names for
type='direct' (aka macvtap) interfaces. All of the code implementing
macvtap allows for a user-specified device name, so we should allow
it. In the case that an interface name starts with "macvtap" or
"macvlan" though, we do still clear it out, just as we do with "vnet"
(which is the prefix used for automatically generated tap device
names), since those are the prefixes for the names we autogenerate for
macvtap and macvlan devices.

We are currently parsing only rx/frames/max because that's the only
value that makes sense for us. The tun device just added support for
this one and the others are only supported by hardware devices which
we don't need to worry about as the only way we'd pass those to the
domain is using <hostdev/> or <interface type='hostdev'/>. And in
those cases the guest can modify the settings itself.

Store it along with the file it describes for simplicity.
