4242a94816 meson: Rename build_tests -> tests_enabled
Given that this variable now controls not just whether C tests
are built, but also whether any test at all is executed, the new
name is more appropriate.

Update the description for the corresponding meson option
accordingly.

87f14badd0 meson: Disable all tests when tests are disabled
Currently, passing -Dtests=disabled only disables a subset of
tests: those that are written in C and thus require compilation.
Other tests, such as the syntax-check ones and those that are
implemented as scripts, are always enabled.

There's a potentially dangerous consequence of this behavior:
when tests are disabled, 'meson test' will succeed as if they
had been enabled. No indication of this will be shown, so the
user will likely make the reasonable assumption that everything
is fine when in fact the significantly reduced coverage might
be hiding failures.

To solve this issues, disable *all* tests when asked to do so,
and inject an intentionally failing test to ensure that 'meson
test' doesn't succeed.

Best viewed with 'git show -w'.

49e3e7f9e8 virsh: add console --resume support
This patch adds the command line flag `--resume` to the `virsh console`
command. This resumes a paused guest after connecting to the console.
This might be handy since it's a "common" pattern to start a guest
paused, connect to the console, and then resume it so as not to miss any
console messages.

25685ebe7c docs: testtck: Expand the 'Run TCK' section on making use of ci/jobs.sh
Ever since commit 6e9bd600d7 added a new
GitLab job description function handling the integration test suite
process to ci/jobs.sh it should be mentioned in the docs.

This patch splits the 'Run TCK' section in two, giving user the option
to run the integration test suite in their VM environment the same way
as we do in GitLab CI or execute everything manually.
This patch takes the opportunity to also link to the virtiofs kbase
article to give users a different option to get the local libvirt
repositories to be used in testing inside a VM.

0b8309af98 docs: testing: Adjust the docs on how to run container workloads locally
The fact that we need ci/helper script to run the workloads remains
true, but the invocation has changed as of commit
eb41e45630 . We also extracted GitLab job
specs into a standalone ci/jobs.sh script which allows execution of any
container job we run in upstream CI locally, unlike the original
functionality which only allowed builds, tests and shell (although
important to say it could be adjusted with the right meson/ninja args).

lcitool also became mandatory as it enables the container execution
which replaced a Makefile we used to have for this purpose.

7ba20863a7 meson: Annotate each test() with 'suite'
A test case can be part of a test suite (just like we already
have 'syntax-check'). This then allows developers to run only a
subset of tests. For instance - when using valgrind test setup
(`meson test -C _build/ --setup valgrind`) it makes zero sense to
run syntax-check tests or other script based tests (e.g.
check-augeas-*, check-remote_protocol, etc.). What does makes
sense is to run compiled binaries.

Strictly speaking, reaching that goal is as trivial as annotating
only those compiled tests (declared in tests/meson.build) and
running them selectively:

  meson test -C _build/ --setup valgrind --suite $TAG

But it may be also desirable to run test scripts separately.

Therefore, introduce two new tags: 'bin' for compiled tests, and
'script' for script based tests and annotate each test()
accordingly.

b855f8ea1e Add discard_no_unref option for qcow2 images
Qemu 8.1.0 will add discard_no_unref option for qcow2 images.
When this option is enabled (default=false), then it will no longer
unreference clusters when guest does a discard, but it will just free
the blocks (useful for incremental backups for example) and pass the
discard to the lower layer.

This was implemented to avoid fragmentation within the qcow2 image.

677156f662 conf: Introduce <address/> for virtio-mem and virtio-pmem
Both virtio-mem and virtio-pmem devices have '.memaddr' attribute
which controls the address where they are mapped in the guest
memory. Ideally, users do not need to specify this as QEMU does
the right thing and computes addresses automatically on startup.

But soon, we will need to record this address as it is part of
guest ABI. And also, there might be some users that want to
control this value. Now, we are in a bit of a pickle, because
both these device types already have a PCI address, therefore we
can't just use <address/> blindly. But what we can do, is
introduce <address/> under the <target/> element. This is also
more conceptual, as knobs under <target/> control guest visible
config of memory device (and .memaddr surely falls into that
category).

NB, SgxEPCDeviceInfo struct in QMP definition also has .memaddr
attribute, but because of the way we build cmd line there's no
(easy) way to set the attribute. So ignore that for now.

ac7f3667f2 meson: Work around configure_file(copy:true) deprecation
In our meson scripts, we use configure_file(copy:true) to copy
files from srcdir into builddir. However, as of meson-0.64.0,
this is deprecated [1] in favor of using:

  fs = import('fs')
  fs.copyfile(in, out)

Except, the submodule's new method wasn't introduced until
0.64.0. And since we can't bump the minimal meson version we
require, we have to work with both: new and old versions.

Now, the fun part: fs.copyfile() is not a drop in replacement as
it returns different type (a custom_target object). This is
incompatible with places where we store the configure_file()
retval in a variable to process it further.

While we could just replace 'copy:true' with a dummy
'configuration:...' (say 'configuration: configmake_conf') we
can't do that for binary files (like src/fonts/ or src/images/).

Therefore, places where we are not interested in the retval can
be switched to fs.copyfile() and places where we are interested
in the retval will just use a dummy 'configuration:'.

Except, src/network/meson.build. In here we not just copy the
file but also specify alternative install dir and that's not
something that fs.copyfile() can handle. Yet, using 'copy: true'
is viewed wrong [2].

d317d1d217 docs: Document requirements on format strings in translated messages
Preserving the order of format strings (%s, ...) when translating
messages may be very hard or even impossible depending on the target
language. On the other hand, reordering them requires understanding the
C-format strings which is not something we should expect from
translators. And even if someone reorders format strings in the right
way (by addressing arguments directly using N$), someone else may use a
translation tool that requires format strings in msgid and msgstr to
match exactly and forces these correct formats to be reverted.

As a result of this, we had several reported crashes in some locales
because integers were formatted as strings. So to make such crashes less
likely to happen and to make translating our messages easier, we now
require all messages that are marked for translation to use format
strings that always refer to the same argument no matter where they
appear in a message (e.g., %1$s, %5$llu).

91d890bdce docs/html: Properly generate ACL permissions into API reference
The 'newapi.xsl' stylesheet was referencing non-existing paths to the
XML files holding ACL permission flags for individual APIs. Additionally
the 'document()' XSL function doesn't even allow concatenation of the
path as it was done via '{$builddir}/src..', but requires either direct
argument or use of the 'concat()' function.

This meant that the 'acls' variable was always empty and thus none of
our API documentation was actually generated with the 'acl' section.

Fix it by passing the path to the XML via an argument to the stylesheet
as the files differ based on which document is being generated.

Since the 'admin' API does not have ACL we need to handle it separately
now in the build system.
