Since commit 8259255 usage of a primary connection driver for
a virConnect has been modified to open (virConnectOpen) and use
a connection to the specific driver in order to handle the API
calls to/for that driver. This causes some confusion and issues
for ACL polkit rule scripts to know exactly which driver by
name will be used.
Add some documentation describing the processing of the primary
and secondary connection as well as the list of the connect_driver
names used for each driver.

Adjusting domain format documentation, adding device address
support and adding command line generation for vfio-ap.
Since only one mediated hostdev with model vfio-ap is supported a check
disallows to define domains with more than one such hostdev device.

This patch is introducing cache monitor(CMT) to cache and
memory bandwidth monitor(MBM) for monitoring CPU memory
bandwidth.
The host capability of the two monitors is also introduced
in this patch.
For CMT, the host capability is shown like:
<host>
...
<cache>
<bank id='0' level='3' type='both' size='15' unit='MiB' cpus='0-5'>
<control granularity='768' min='1536' unit='KiB' type='both' maxAllocs='4'/>
</bank>
<monitor level='3' 'reuseThreshold'='270336' maxMonitors='176'>
<feature name='llc_occupancy'/>
</monitor>
</cache>
...
</host>
For MBM, the capability is shown like this:
<host>
...
<memory_bandwidth>
<node id='1' cpus='6-11'>
<control granularity='10' min ='10' maxAllocs='4'/>
</node>
<monitor maxMonitors='176'>
<feature name='mbm_total_bytes'/>
<feature name='mbm_local_bytes'/>
</monitor>
</memory_bandwidth>
...
</host>

Currently the libxl driver claims support for Xen >= 4.4, but
Xen 4.4 and 4.5 are no longer supported upstream. Let's increase
the minimum supported Xen version to 4.6 and change the defined
LIBXL_API_VERSION to 0x040500, which is the API version defined
when Xen 4.6 was released.
Since Xen 4.6 contains a pkgconfig file, drop the now unused code
that falls back to using LIBVIRT_CHECK_LIB in the absence of
pkgconfig file. In addition, bumping the LIBXL_API_VERSION
required adjusting the calls to libxl_set_vcpuaffinity to account
for the extra parameter in the 0x040500 version of the API.
