Besides ID, libvirt should provide several parameters to help the user
distinguish two clients from each other. One of them is the connection
timestamp. This patch also adds a testcase for proper JSON formatting of the
new attribute too (proper formatting of older clients that did not support
this attribute yet is included in the existing tests) - in order to
testGenerateJSON to work, a mock of time_t time(time_t *timer) needed to be
created.

Admin API needs a way of addressing specific clients. Unlike servers, which we
are happy to address by names both because its name reflects its purpose (to
some extent) and we only have two of them (so far), naming clients doesn't make
any sense, since a) each client is an anonymous, i.e. not recognized after a
disconnect followed by a reconnect, b) we can't predict what kind of requests
it's going to send to daemon, and c) the are loads of them comming and going,
so the only viable option is to use an ID which is of a reasonably wide data
type.

Commit a8743c39 removed keepalive_required attribute from daemon, added a test
case for it, but forgot to enable the test itself in virnetdaemontest.

Since servers know their name, there is no need to supply such
information twice. Also defeats inconsistencies.

At first I did not want to do this, but after trying to implement some
newer feaures in the admin API I realized we need that to make our lives
easier. On the other hand they are not saved redundantly and the
virNetServer objects are still kept in a hash table.

Since the daemon can manage and add (at fresh start) multiple servers,
we also should be able to add them from a JSON state file in case of a
daemon restart, so post exec restart support for multiple servers is also
provided. Patch also updates virnetdaemontest accordingly.

Since its introduction in 2011 (particularly in commit f4324e3292),
the option doesn't work. It just effectively disables all incoming
connections. That's because the client private data that contain the
'keepalive_supported' boolean, are initialized to zeroes so the bool is
false and the only other place where the bool is used is when checking
whether the client supports keepalive. Thus, according to the server,
no client supports keepalive.
Removing this instead of fixing it is better because a) apparently
nobody ever tried it since 2011 (4 years without one month) and b) we
cannot know whether the client supports keepalive until we get a ping or
pong keepalive packet. And that won't happen until after we dispatched
the ConnectOpen call.
Another two reasons would be c) the keepalive_required was tracked on
the server level, but keepalive_supported was in private data of the
client as well as the check that was made in the remote layer, thus
making all other instances of virNetServer miss this feature unless they
all implemented it for themselves and d) we can always add it back in
case there is a request and a use-case for it.

Rename the test to virnetdaemontest and use virNetDaemon objects instead
of virNetServer inside.
