Change the build process & driver initialization so that the
VirtualBox driver is built into libvirtd, instead of libvirt.so
This change avoids the VirtualBox GPLv2-only license causing
compatibility problems with libvirt.so which is under the
GPLv2-or-later license.
NB this change prevents use of the VirtualBox driver on the
Windows platform, until such time as libvirtd can be made
to work there.

These all existed before virfile.c was created, and for some reason
weren't moved.
This is mostly straightfoward, although the syntax rule prohibiting
write() had to be changed to have an exception for virfile.c instead
of virutil.c.
This movement pointed out that there is a function called
virBuildPath(), and another almost identical function called
virFileBuildPath(). They really should be a single function, which
I'll take care of as soon as I figure out what the arglist should look
like.
We have seen an issue on s390x platform where domain XMLs larger than 1MB
were used. The define command was finished successfully. The dumpxml command
was not successful (i.e. could not encode message payload).
Enlarged message related sizes (e.g. maximum string size, message size, etc.)
to handle larger system configurations used on s390x platform.
To improve handling of the RPC message size the allocation during encode process
is changed to a dynamic one (i.e. starting with 64kB initial size and increasing
that size in steps up to 16MB if the payload data is larger).

Commit 7c9a2d88 cleaned up too many headers; FreeBSD builds
failed due to:
util/virutil.c:556: warning: implicit declaration of function 'canonicalize_file_name'
(Not sure which Linux header leaked this declaration, but gnulib
only guarantees it in stdlib.h)
libvirt.c:956: warning: implicit declaration of function 'virGetUserConfigDirectory'
(Here, a build on Linux was picking up virutil.h indirectly via
one of the conditional driver headers, where that driver was not
being built on my FreeBSD setup)
* src/util/virutil.c (includes): Need <stdlib.h> for
canonicalize_file_name.
* src/libvirt.c (includes): Use "virutil.h" unconditionally,
rather than relying on conditional indirect inclusion.

The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
The existing virNodeDeviceDettach() assumes that there is only a
single PCI device assignment backend driver appropriate for any
hypervisor. This is no longer true, as the qemu driver is getting
support for PCI device assignment via VFIO. The new API
virNodeDeviceDetachFlags adds a driverName arg that should be set to
the exact same string set in a domain <hostdev>'s <driver name='x'/>
element (i.e. "vfio", "kvm", or NULL for default). It also adds a
flags arg for good measure (and because it's possible we may need it
when we start dealing with VFIO's "device groups").
It will simplify later work if the sub-drivers have dedicated
APIs / field names. ie virNetworkDriver should have
virDrvNetworkOpen and virDrvNetworkClose methods

If libvirt makes any gcry_control() calls, then this
prevents gnutls for doing any initialization. As such
we must take care to do full initialization of libcrypt
on a par with what gnutls would have done. In particular
we must disable "sec mem" for cases where the user does
not have mlock() permission. We also skip our init of
libgcrypt if something else (ie the app using libvirt)
has beaten us to it.

The last Viktor's effort to fix the race and memory corruption unfortunately
wasn't complete in the case the close callback was not registered in an
connection. At that time, the trail of event's that I'll describe later could
still happen and corrupt the memory or cause a crash of the client (including
the daemon in case of a p2p migration).
Consider the following prerequisities and trail of events:
Let's have a remote connection to a hypervisor that doesn't have a close
callback registered and the client is using the event loop. The crash happens in
cooperation of 2 threads. Thread E is the event loop and thread W is the worker
that does some stuff. R denotes the remote client.
1.) W - The client finishes everything and sheds the last reference on the client
2.) W - The virObject stuff invokes virConnectDispose that invokes doRemoteClose
3.) W - the remote close method invokes the REMOTE_PROC_CLOSE RPC method.
4.) W - The thread is preempted at this point.
5.) R - The remote side receives the close and closes the socket.
6.) E - poll() wakes up due to the closed socket and invokes the close callback
7.) E - The event loop is preempted right before remoteClientCloseFunc is called
8.) W - The worker now finishes, and frees the conn object.
9.) E - The remoteClientCloseFunc accesses the now-freed conn object in the
attempt to retrieve pointer for the real close callback.
10.) Kaboom, corrupted memory/segfault.
This patch tries to fix this by introducing a new object that survives the
freeing of the connection object. We can't increase the reference count on the
connection object itself or the connection would never be closed, as the
connection is closed only when the reference count reaches zero.
The new object - virConnectCloseCallbackData - is a lockable object that keeps
the pointers to the real user registered callback and ensures that the
connection callback is either not called if the connection was already freed or
that the connection isn't freed while this is being called.
By adjusting the reference count of the connection object we
prevent races between callback function and virConnectClose.

virConnectOpenAuth didn't require 'name' to be specified (VIR_DEBUG
used NULLSTR() for the output) and by default, if name == NULL, the
default connection uri is used. This was not indicated in the
documentation and wasn't checked for in other API's VIR_DEBUG outputs.
VIR_CONNECT_LIST_NODE_DEVICES_CAP_FC_HOST to filter the FC HBA,
and VIR_CONNECT_LIST_NODE_DEVICES_CAP_VPORTS to filter the FC HBA
which supports vport.
These two flags in fact are mutually exclusive. Requesting them both
doesn't make any sense regardless of hypervisor driver. Hence, we have
to make it within libvirt.c file instead of fixing it in each driver.
Eugene Marcotte reported that if gcrypt-devel (a prereq of
gnutls-devel) is not present, then compilation fails due to
an unconditional use of <gcrypt.h>.
* src/libvirt.c (includes): Properly guard use of gcrypt.h.
VIR_ERR_NO_CONNECT already contains "no connection driver available".
This patch changes:
no connection driver available for No connection for URI hello
to:
no connection driver available for hello

Since the name (like scsi_host10) is not stable for vHBA, (it can
be changed either after recreating or system rebooting), current
API virNodeDeviceLookupByName is not nice to use for management app
in this case. (E.g. one wants to destroy the vHBA whose name has
been changed after system rebooting, he has to find out current
name first).
Later patches will support the persistent vHBA via storage pool,
with which one can identify the vHBA stably by the wwnn && wwpn
pair.
So this new API comes.

virDomainSnapshot.getDomain() and virDomainSnapshot.getConnect()
wrappers around virDomainSnapshotGet{Domain,Connect} were not supposed
to be ever implemented. The class should contain proper domain() and
connect() accessors that fetch python objects stored internally within
the class. While domain() was already provided, connect() was missing.
This patch adds connect() method to virDomainSnapshot class and
reimplements getDomain() and getConnect() methods as aliases to domain()
and connect() for backward compatibility.
This patch adds a new API, virDomainOpenChannel, that uses streams to
connect to a virtio channel on a guest. This creates a secure
communication channel between a guest and a libvirt client.
This behaves the same as virDomainOpenConsole, except on channels
instead of console/serial/parallel devices.
Offline migration transfers inactive definition of a domain (which may
or may not be active). After successful completion, the domain remains
in its current state on source host and is defined but inactive on
destination host. It's a bit more clever than virDomainGetXMLDesc() on
source host followed by virDomainDefineXML() on destination host, as
offline migration will run pre-migration hook to update the domain XML
on destination host. Currently, copying non-shared storage is not
supported during offline migration.
Offline migration can be requested with a new migration flag called
VIR_MIGRATE_OFFLINE (which has to be combined with
VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST flag).
Add VIR_STORAGE_VOL_CREATE_PREALLOC_METADATA flag to virStorageVolCreateXML
and virStorageVolCreateXMLFrom. This flag requests metadata
preallocation when creating/cloning qcow2 images, resulting in creating
a sparse file with qcow2 metadata. It has only slightly larger disk usage
compared to new image with no allocation, but offers higher performance.
Currently to deal with auto-shutdown libvirtd must periodically
poll all stateful drivers. Thus sucks because it requires
acquiring both the driver lock and locks on every single virtual
machine. Instead pass in a "inhibit" callback to virStateInitialize
which drivers can invoke whenever they want to inhibit shutdown
due to existance of active VMs.

Commit a21f5112 fixed one API, but missed two others that also
failed to log their 'flags' argument.
* src/libvirt.c (virNodeSuspendForDuration, virDomainGetHostname):

The fact that only the guest agent, or ACPI flag can be used
when requesting reboot/shutdown is merely a limitation of the
QEMU driver impl at this time. Thus it should not be in
