b0f996a6b1 Extend RPC protocol to allow FD passing
Define two new RPC message types VIR_NET_CALL_WITH_FDS and
VIR_NET_REPLY_WITH_FDS. These message types are equivalent
to VIR_NET_CALL and VIR_NET_REPLY, except that between the
message header, and payload there is a 32-bit integer field
specifying how many file descriptors have been passed.

The actual file descriptors are sent/recv'd out of band.

* src/rpc/virnetmessage.c, src/rpc/virnetmessage.h,
  src/libvirt_private.syms: Add support for handling
  passed file descriptors
* src/rpc/virnetprotocol.x: Extend protocol for FD
  passing

980a132a24 Defines the basics of a generic RPC protocol in XDR
This patch defines the basics of a generic RPC protocol in XDR.
This is wire ABI compatible with the original remote_protocol.x.
It takes everything except for the RPC calls / events from that
protocol

 - The basic header virNetMessageHeader (aka remote_message_header)
 - The error object virNetMessageError  (aka remote_error)
 - Two dummy objects virNetMessageDomain & virNetMessageNetwork
   sadly needed to keep virNetMessageError ABI compatible with
   the old remote_error

The RPC protocol supports method calls, async events and
bidirectional data streams as before

* src/Makefile.am: Add rules for generating RPC code from
  protocol & define a new libvirt-net-rpc.la helper library
* src/rpc/virnetprotocol.x: New generic RPC protocol
