426929aea9 lxc: add possibility to define init uid/gid
Users may want to run the init command of a container as a special
user / group. This is achieved by adding <inituser> and <initgroup>
elements. Note that the user can either provide a name or an ID to
specify the user / group to be used.

This commit also fixes a side effect of being able to run the command
as a non-root user: the user needs rights on the tty to allow shell
job control.

78fc843c7b bhyve: add vga configuration for video driver
Add support for vgaconf driver configuration. In domain xml it looks like
this:

  <video>
    <driver vgaconf='io|on|off'>
    <model .../>
  </video>

It was added with bhyve gop video in mind to allow users control how the
video device is exposed to the guest, specifically, how VGA I/O is
handled.

One can refer to the bhyve manual page to get more detailed description
of the possible VGA configuration options:

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bhyve&manpath=FreeBSD+12-current

The relevant part could be found using the 'vgaconf' keyword.

Also, add some tests for this new feature.

d672551816 HACKING: Drop from the git repository
Despite being a generated file, HACKING has been tracked in
the git repository along with actual source files. As far as
I'm aware, it's the only generated file for which that happens.

Times and times again, people[1] have committed changes to
the source file without refreshing the generated copy at the
same time.

The rationale for tracking the generated file is to help out
people who just cloned the git repository looking to contribue;
however, README-hacking already contains enough information to
get perspective contributors to a place where they can simply
look at docs/hacking.html instead.

cc9f0521cd Report more correct information for cache control
On some platforms the number of bits in the cbm_mask might not be
divisible by 4 (and not even by 2), so we need to properly count the
bits.  Similar file, min_cbm_bits, is properly parsed and used, but if
the number is greater than one, we lose the information about
granularity when reporting the data in capabilities.  For that matter
always report granularity, but if it is not the same as the minimum,
add that information in there as well.

3bab51e056 qemu: mkdir memory_backing_dir on startup
In 48d9e6cdcc and friends we've allowed users to back guest
memory by a file inside the host. And in order to keep things
manageable the memory_backing_dir variable was introduced to
qemu.conf to specify the directory where the files are kept.
However, libvirt's policy is that directories are created on
domain startup if they don't exist. We've missed this one.

88ef73e13c nodedev: Introduce mdev capability for mediated devices
Start discovering the mediated devices on the host system and format the
attributes for the mediated device into the XML. Compared to the parent
device which reports generic information about the abstract mediated
devices types, a child device only reports the type name it has been
instantiated from and the IOMMU group number, since that's device
specific compared to the rest of the info that can be gathered about
mediated devices at the moment.
This patch introduces both the formatting and parsing routines, updates
nodedev.rng schema, adding a testcase as well.

The resulting mdev child device XML:
<device>
  <name>mdev_4b20d080_1b54_4048_85b3_a6a62d165c01</name>
  <path>/sys/devices/.../4b20d080-1b54-4048-85b3-a6a62d165c01</path>
