I got annoyed at having to use both 'virsh vol-list $pool --details'
AND 'virsh vol-dumpxml $vol $pool' to learn if I had populated
the volume correctly. Since two-thirds of the data present in
virStorageVolGetInfo() already appears in virStorageVolGetXMLDesc(),
this just adds the remaining piece of information, as:
<volume type='...'>
...
</volume>
* docs/formatstorage.html.in: Document new <volume type=...>.
* docs/schemas/storagevol.rng (vol): Add it to RelaxNG.
* src/conf/storage_conf.h (virStorageVolTypeToString): Declare.
* src/conf/storage_conf.c (virStorageVolTargetDefFormat): Output
the metatype.
(virStorageVolDefParseXML): Parse it, for unit tests.
* tests/storagevolxml2xmlout/vol-*.xml: Update tests to match.

This patch brings support to manage sheepdog pools and volumes to libvirt.
It uses the "collie" command-line utility that comes with sheepdog for that.
A sheepdog pool in libvirt maps to a sheepdog cluster.
It needs a host and port to connect to, which in most cases
is just going to be the default of localhost on port 7000.
A sheepdog volume in libvirt maps to a sheepdog vdi.
To create one specify the pool, a name and the capacity.
Volumes can also be resized later.
In the volume XML the vdi name has to be put into the <target><path>.
To use the volume as a disk source for virtual machines specify
the vdi name as "name" attribute of the <source>.
The host and port information from the pool are specified inside the host tag.
<disk type='network'>
...
<source protocol="sheepdog" name="vdi_name">
<host name="localhost" port="7000"/>
</source>
</disk>
To work right this patch parses the output of collie,
so it relies on the raw output option. There recently was a bug which caused
size information to be reported wrong. This is fixed upstream already and
will be in the next release.
