3e4230d270 conf: Add interface to parse and format memory device information
This patch adds code that parses and formats configuration for memory
devices.

A simple configuration would be:
<memory model='dimm'>
  <target>
    <size unit='KiB'>524287</size>
    <node>0</node>
  </target>
</memory>

A complete configuration of a memory device:
<memory model='dimm'>
  <source>
    <pagesize unit='KiB'>4096</pagesize>
    <nodemask>1-3</nodemask>
  </source>
  <target>
    <size unit='KiB'>524287</size>
    <node>1</node>
  </target>
</memory>

This patch preemptively forbids use of the <memory> device in individual
drivers so the users are warned right away that the device is not
supported.

060f4c666e doc: Fix doc for backingStore
I spent quite some time figuring that backingStore info
isn't included in the dom xml, unless guest is up and
running. Hopefully putting that in the doc should help.

Also, several people have complained that libvirt reports
a backing file as raw, even though they expected it to be
qcow2; where the culprit is usually the user forgetting to
create the file with qemu-img create -o backing_fmt=qcow2.

This patch adds that info to the doc.

a9fbe3b157 docs: schema and docs for the midonet virtualport type
Midonet is an opensource virtual networking that over lays the IP
network between hypervisors. Currently, such networks can be made
with the openvswitch virtualport type.

This patch, defines the schema and documentation that will serve
as basis for the follow up patches that will add support to libvirt
for using Midonet virtual ports for its interfaces. The schema
definition requires that the port profile expresses its interfaceid
as part of the port profile. For that reason, this is part of the
patch too.

ad69e8be4a conf: Use correct type for balloon stats period
We're parsing memballoon status period as unsigned int, but when we're
trying to set it, both we and qemu use signed int.  That means large
values will get wrapped around to negative one resulting in error.
Basically the same problem as commit e3a7b874 was dealing with when
updating live domain.

QEMU changed the accepted value to int64 in commit 1f9296b5, but even
values as INT_MAX don't make sense since the value passed means seconds.
Hence adding capability flag for this change isn't worth it.

4bca6192f2 conf: Make specifying <memory> optional
Now that the size of guest's memory can be inferred from the NUMA
configuration (if present) make it optional to specify <memory>
explicitly.

To make sure that memory is specified add a check that some form of
memory size was specified. One side effect of this change is that it is
no longer possible to specify 0KiB as memory size for the VM, but I
don't think it would be any useful to do so. (I can imagine embedded
systems without memory, just registers, but that's far from what libvirt
is usually doing).

Forbidding 0 memory for guests also fixes a few corner cases where 0 was
not interpreted correctly and caused failures. (Arguments for numad when
using automatic placement, size of the balloon). This fixes problems
described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161461

Test case changes are added to verify that the schema change and code
behave correctly.

cf521fc8ba memtune: change the way how we store unlimited value
There was a mess in the way how we store unlimited value for memory
limits and how we handled values provided by user.  Internally there
were two possible ways how to store unlimited value: as 0 value or as
VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_PARAM_UNLIMITED.  Because we chose to store memory
limits as unsigned long long, we cannot use -1 to represent unlimited.
It's much easier for us to say that everything greater than
VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_PARAM_UNLIMITED means unlimited and leave 0 as valid
value despite that it makes no sense to set limit to 0.

Remove unnecessary function virCompareLimitUlong.  The update of test
is to prevent the 0 to be miss-used as unlimited in future.

bbd3eb5098 conf: Don't mangle vcpu placement randomly
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1170492

In one of our previous commits (dc8b7ce7) we've done a functional
change even though it was intended as pure refactor. The problem is,
that the following XML:

 <vcpu placement='static' current='2'>6</vcpu>
 <cputune>
   <emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
 </cputune>
 <numatune>
   <memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
 </numatune>

gets translated into this one:

 <vcpu placement='auto' current='2'>6</vcpu>
 <cputune>
   <emulatorpin cpuset='1-3'/>
 </cputune>
 <numatune>
   <memory mode='strict' placement='auto'/>
 </numatune>

We should not change the vcpu placement mode. Moreover, we're doing
something similar in case of emulatorpin and iothreadpin. If they were
set, but vcpu placement was auto, we've mistakenly removed them from
the domain XML even though we are able to set them independently on
vcpus.

5222256849 schemas: Allow all generic elements and attributes for all interfaces
There are some interface types (notably 'server' and 'client')
which instead of allowing the default set of elements and
attributes (like the rest do), try to enumerate only the elements
they know of. This way it's, however, easy to miss something. For
instance, the <address/> element was not mentioned at all. This
resulted in a strange behavior: when such interface was added
into XML, the address was automatically generated by parsing
code. Later, the formatted XML hasn't passed the RNG schema. This
became more visible once we've turned on the XML validation on
domain XML changes: appending an empty line at the end of
formatted XML (to trick virsh think the XML had changed) made
libvirt to refuse the very same XML it formatted.

Instead of trying to find each element and attribute we are
missing in the schema, lets just allow all the elements and
attributes like we're doing that for the rest of types. It's no
harm if the schema is wider than our parser allows.
