Ploop is a pseudo device which makeit possible to access
to an image in a file as a block device. Like loop devices,
but with additional features, like snapshots, write tracker
and without double-caching.
It used in PCS for containers and in OpenVZ. You can manage
ploop devices and images with ploop utility
(http://git.openvz.org/?p=ploop).

Volume and pool formatting functions took different approaches to
unspecified uids/gids. When unknown, it is always parsed as -1, but one
of the functions formatted it as unsigned int (wrong) and one as
int (better). Due to that, our two of our XML files from tests cannot
be parsed on 32-bit machines.
RNG schema needs to be modified as well, but because both
storagepool.rng and storagevol.rng need same schema for permission
element, save some space by moving it to storagecommon.rng.

This patch is my first experience playing with nested grammars,
as documented in http://relaxng.org/tutorial-20011203.html#IDA3PZR.
I plan on doing more overrides in order to make the RelaxNG
grammar mirror the C code refactoring into a common
virStorageSource, but where different clients of that source do
not support the same subset of functionality. By starting with
something fairly easy to validate, I can make sure my later
patches will be possible.
This patch adds a use of the no-op <ref
name='sourceStartupPolicy'/> to the disksnapshot definition, so
that the snapshot version of a type='file' <source> more closely
resembles the version in domaincommon. A future patch will merge
the two files into using a common define, but this patch is
sufficient for testing that adding <source
startupPolicy='optional'/> in any of the
tests/domainsnapshotxml2xmlin/*.xml files still gets rejected
unless it occurs within the <domain> subelement, because the
definition of startupPolicy is empty outside of domain.rng.

to avoid restricting <domain>.

Domain snapshots should only permit an external snapshot into
a storage format that permits a backing chain, since the new
snapshot file necessarily must be backed by the existing file.
The C code for the qemu driver is a little bit stricter in
currently enforcing only qcow2 or qed, but at the XML parser
level, including virt-xml-validate, it is fairly easy to
enforce that a user can't request a 'raw' external snapshot.
* docs/schemas/storagecommon.rng (storageFormat): Split out...
(storageFormatBacking): ...new sublist.
* docs/schemas/domainsnapshot.rng (disksnapshotdriver): Use new
type.
* src/util/virstoragefile.h (virStorageFileFormat): Rearrange for
easier code management.
* src/util/virstoragefile.c (virStorageFileFormat, fileTypeInfo):
Likewise.
* src/conf/snapshot_conf.c (virDomainSnapshotDiskDefParseXML): Use
new marker to limit selection of formats.

We had incomplete RelaxNG support for storage formats listed
in virstoragefile.h: commit 027bf2e added 'vdi' but forgot
to update the <volume> and <domain> xml lists; the <volume>
list was also missing 'fat' and 'vhd'. Maintaining two lists
is a recipe for them getting out of sync, so make the list
common so that both contexts benefit the next time we add a
format in a single location.
* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng (storageFormat): Move...
* docs/schemas/storagecommon.rng: ...here, and add vdi.
* docs/schemas/storagevol.rng (formatfile): Use common list.

Having two tiny files with a couple definitions didn't make
as much sense as one common file, especially since I plan to
add more definitions and use it in more places.
* docs/schemas/storageencryption.rng: Merge this...
* docs/schemas/storagefilefeatures.rng: ...and this, into...
* docs/schemas/storagecommon.rng: ...this new file.
* docs/schemas/Makefile.am (schema_DATA): Reflect renames.

* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng: Likewise.
* libvirt.spec.in: Likewise.
