At the moment, there is no configuration option for the libvirt-guests
service that allows users to define that only persistent virtual machines
should be shutdown on host shutdown.
Currently, the service config allows to choose between two ON_SHUTDOWN
actions that are executed on running virtual machines when the host goes
down: shutdown, suspend.
The ON_SHUTDOWN action should be orthogonal to the type of the virtual
machine. However, the existing implementation, does not suspend
transient virtual machines.
This is the matrix of actions that is executed on virtual machines based
on the configured ON_SHUTDOWN action and the type of a virtual machine.
| persistent | transient
shutdown | shutdown | shutdown (what we want to change)
suspend | suspend | nothing
Add config option PERSISTENT_ONLY to libvirt-guests config that allows
users to define if the ON_SHUTDOWN action should be applied only on
persistent virtual machines. PERSISTENT_ONLY can be set to true, false,
default. The default option will implement the already existing logic.
Case 1: PERSISTENT_ONLY=default
| persistent | transient
shutdown | shutdown | shutdown
suspend | suspend | nothing
Case 2: PERSISTENT_ONLY=true
| persistent | transient
shutdown | shutdown | nothing
suspend | suspend | nothing
Case 3: PERSISTENT_ONLY=false
| persistent | transient
shutdown | shutdown | shutdown
suspend | suspend | suspend

Right now, we display the message before actually attempting
to connect to the VM console. That operation, however, can
fail for a number of reasons: for example, is the VM doesn't
have a serial device, the output ends up looking like
$ virsh console cirros

Escape character is ^] (Ctrl + ])
error: internal error: cannot find character device <null>
The initial message is misleading. Change things so that it's

there were multiple instances where arguments were added to the argument
list thus changing the order the positional arguments would be
interpreted as. Examples are commits: 7e157858b4, bc5a8090af,

While the virsh option definitions specify (either explicitly after
recent refactors, or implicitly before) whether an argument is
positional or not, the actual parser is way more lax and actually and
allows also arguments which were considered/documented as non-positional
to be filled positionally unless VSH_OFLAG_REQ_OPT is used in the flags.
This creates situations such as 'snapshot-create-as' which has the
following docs:
SYNOPSIS
snapshot-create-as <domain> [--name <string>] [--description <string>]
[--print-xml] [--no-metadata] [--halt] [--disk-only]
[--reuse-external] [--quiesce] [--atomic] [--live] [--validate]
[--memspec <string>] [[--diskspec] <string>]...
Thus showing as if '--name' and '--description' required the option, but
in fact the following happens when only positionals are passed:
$ virsh snapshot-create-as --print-xml 1 2 3 4 5
<domainsnapshot>
<name>2</name>
<description>3</description>
<disks>
<disk name='4'/>
<disk name='5'/>
</disks>
</domainsnapshot>
In the above example e.g. '--memspec' is not populated.
This disconnect makes it impossible to refactor the parser itself and
allows users to write buggy interactions with virsh.
In order to address this we'll be annotating every single of these
unwanted positional options as such so that this doesn't happen in the
future, while still preserving the quirk in the parser.
This patch introduces a tool which outputs list of options which are not
marked as positional but are lacking the VSH_OFLAG_REQ_OPT flag.
This tool will be removed once all the offenders found by it will be
addressed.
