f84aedad09 qemu: Fix shutdown regression with buggy qemu
The commit that prevents disk corruption on domain shutdown
(96fc478417) causes regression with QEMU
0.14.* and 0.15.* because of a regression bug in QEMU that was fixed
only recently in QEMU git. The affected versions of QEMU do not quit on
SIGTERM if started with -no-shutdown, which we use to implement fake
reboot. Since -no-shutdown tells QEMU not to quit automatically on guest
shutdown, domains started using the affected QEMU cannot be shutdown
properly and stay in a paused state.

This patch disables fake reboot feature on such QEMU by not using
-no-shutdown, which makes shutdown work as expected. However,
virDomainReboot will not work in this case and it will report "Requested
operation is not valid: Reboot is not supported with this QEMU binary".

42f43592be Support reboots with the QEMU driver
For controlled shutdown we issue a 'system_powerdown' command
to the QEMU monitor. This triggers an ACPI event which (most)
guest OS wire up to a controlled shutdown. There is no equiv
ACPI event to trigger a controlled reboot. This patch attempts
to fake a reboot.

 - In qemuDomainObjPrivatePtr we have a bool fakeReboot
   flag.
 - The virDomainReboot method sets this flag and then
   triggers a normal 'system_powerdown'.
 - The QEMU process is started with '-no-shutdown'
   so that the guest CPUs pause when it powers off the
   guest
 - When we receive the 'POWEROFF' event from QEMU JSON
   monitor if fakeReboot is not set we invoke the
   qemuProcessKill command and shutdown continues
   normally
 - If fakeReboot was set, we spawn a background thread
   which issues 'system_reset' to perform a warm reboot
   of the guest hardware. Then it issues 'cont' to
   start the CPUs again

* src/qemu/qemu_command.c: Add -no-shutdown flag if
  we have JSON support
* src/qemu/qemu_domain.h: Add 'fakeReboot' flag to
  qemuDomainObjPrivate struct
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Fake reboot using the
  system_powerdown command if JSON support is available
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h,
  src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h,
  src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.h: Add
  binding for system_reset command
* src/qemu/qemu_process.c: Reset the guest & start CPUs if
  fakeReboot is set
