6ccce75240 Turn on IPv6 support in the bridge_driver.c virtual network driver
At this point everything is already in place to make IPv6 happen, we just
need to add a few rules, remove some checks for IPv4-only, and document
the changes to the XML on the website.

936565c701 Add support for an external TFTP boot server
This patch adds an optional attribute to the <bootp> tag, that
allows to specify a TFTP server address other than the address of
the DHCP server itself.

This can be used to forward the BOOTP settings of the host down to the
guest.  This is something that configurations such as Xen's default
network achieve naturally, but must be done manually for NAT.

* docs/formatnetwork.html.in: Document new attribute.
* docs/schemas/network.rng: Add it to schema.
* src/conf/network_conf.h: Add it to struct.
* src/conf/network_conf.c: Add it to parser and pretty printer.
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: Put it in the dnsmasq command line.
* tests/networkxml2xmlin/netboot-proxy-network.xml
  tests/networkxml2xmlout/netboot-proxy-network.xml
  tests/networkxml2xmltest.c: add new tests

738ee810b4 network: add 'bootp' and 'tftp' config
Currently, libvirtd will start a dnsmasq process for the virtual
network, but (aside from killing the dnsmasq process and replacing it),
there's no way to define tftp boot options.

This change introduces the appropriate tags to the dhcp configuration:

 <network>
   <name>default</name>
   <bridge name="virbr%d" />
   <forward/>
   <ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
     <tftp root="/var/lib/tftproot" />
     <dhcp>
       <range start="192.168.122.2" end="192.168.122.254" />
       <bootp file="pxeboot.img"/>
     </dhcp>
   </ip>
 </network>

When the attributes are present, these are passed to the
arguments to dnsmasq:

 dnsmasq [...] --enable-tftp --tftp-root /srv/tftp --dhcp-boot pxeboot.img
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                      from <tftp />                     from <bootp />

At present, only local tftp servers are supported (ie, dnsmasq runs as
the tftp server), but we could improve this in future by adding a
server= attribute.
