0c234889c4 storage: Introduce virStorageVolInfoFlags
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1332019

This function will essentially be a wrapper to virStorageVolInfo in order
to provide a mechanism to have the "physical" size of the volume returned
instead of the "allocation" size. This will provide similar capabilities to
the virDomainBlockInfo which can return both allocation and physical of a
domain storage volume.

NB: Since we're reusing the _virStorageVolInfo and not creating a new
_virStorageVolInfoFlags structure, we'll need to generate the rpc APIs
remoteStorageVolGetInfoFlags and remoteDispatchStorageVolGetInfoFlags
(although both were originally created from gendispatch.pl and then
just copied into daemon/remote.c and src/remote/remote_driver.c).

The new API will allow the usage of a VIR_STORAGE_VOL_GET_PHYSICAL flag
and will make the decision to return the physical or allocation value
into the allocation field.

In order to get that physical value, virStorageBackendUpdateVolTargetInfoFD
adds logic to fill in physical value matching logic in qemuStorageLimitsRefresh
used by virDomainBlockInfo when the domain is inactive.

fa4eea8063 storage: Document wiping formatted volume types
When wiping a volume we just rewrite all the data of the volume, not
only the content.  Since format gets overridden, we need to recreate the
volume.  However we can't do that for every possible format out there.
Since it was only coded for the ploop volume type, let's document what
might be the consequences instead of forbidding it for every other
format out there.

1328f98224 Introduce storage lifecycle event APIs
Storage pool lifecycle event API entry points for registering and deregistering
storage pool events, as well as types of events associated with storage pools.
These entry points will be used for implementing asynchronous lifecycle events.

Storage pool API:
virConnectStoragePoolEventRegisterAny
virConnectStoragePoolEventDeregisterAny
virStoragePoolEventLifecycleType which has events STARTED, STOPPED, DEFINED,
UNDEFINED, and REFRESHED

eec91958b4 virStorageVolWipe: Document that wiping journaled FS is useless
So you have a libvirt volume that you want to wipe out. But lets
say that the volume is actually a file stored on a journaled
filesystem. Overwriting it with zeroes or a pattern does not mean
that corresponding physical location on the disk is overwritten
too, due to journaling. It's the same story with network based
volumes, copy-on-write filesystems, and so on. Since there is no
way that an userland application can write onto specific areas on
disk, all that we can do is document the fact.

7d792b99b8 libvirt: Add virStorageVolDeleteFlags to virStorageVolDelete
Although they've been present for quite a while, they weren't added
to the API definition, so add them there to make it clearer.

Currently only the RBD backend even checks for any flags.

aeb1078ab5 storage: Add flags to allow building pool during create processing
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=830056

Add flags handling to the virStoragePoolCreate and virStoragePoolCreateXML
API's which will allow the caller to provide the capability for the storage
pool create API's to also perform a pool build during creation rather than
requiring the additional buildPool step. This will allow transient pools
to be defined, built, and started.

The new flags are:

    * VIR_STORAGE_POOL_CREATE_WITH_BUILD
      Perform buildPool without any flags passed.

    * VIR_STORAGE_POOL_CREATE_WITH_BUILD_OVERWRITE
      Perform buildPool using VIR_STORAGE_POOL_BUILD_OVERWRITE flag.

    * VIR_STORAGE_POOL_CREATE_WITH_BUILD_NO_OVERWRITE
      Perform buildPool using VIR_STORAGE_POOL_BUILD_NO_OVERWRITE flag.

It is up to the backend to handle the processing of build flags. The
overwrite and no-overwrite flags are mutually exclusive.

NB:
This patch is loosely based upon code originally authored by Osier
Yang that were not reviewed and pushed, see:

e983e62514 debug: assure NULLSTR() around all %s args in debug at top of public APIs
There are also a couple that were very uninformatively just logging
the value of the pointer rather than the string itself:

* the "name" arg to virNodeDeviceLookupByName()
* wwnn and wwpn args to virNodeDeviceLookupSCSIHostByWWN()

All char*'s that make sense should now have their contents logged
rather than the pointer, and all %s args should now be inside
NULLSTR().
