eb82c632e3 vsh: Allow non-interactive use of 'cd' command
For testing purposes it will come handy to change the directory from a
batch-mode script. Remove the check forbidding use of the 'cd' command
in batch mode.

6193c4656e virsh: Fix '--name' and '--parent' used together in '(snapshot|checkpoint)-list' command
Until now when '--name' was used the parent was not printed and the
option was ignored. One option would be to declare the options mutually
exclusive, but for testing it may come handy to print both the snapshot
name and parent. Adjust the code to print them tab-separated and adjust
the docs.

676df5b358 tools: support automatically constructing SEV-ES vCPU state
The VMSA files contain the expected CPU register state for the VM. Their
content varies based on a few pieces of the stack

  - AMD CPU architectural initial state
  - KVM hypervisor VM CPU initialization
  - QEMU userspace VM CPU initialization
  - AMD CPU SKU (family/model/stepping)

The first three pieces of information we can obtain through code
inspection. The last piece of information we can take on the command
line. This allows a user to validate a SEV-ES guest merely by providing
the CPU SKU information, using --cpu-family, --cpu-model,
--cpu-stepping. This avoids the need to obtain or construct VMSA files
directly.

It will refuse to use a libvirt connection that is thought to be local

c43718ef67 Document caveats of 'VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_VM' group of statistics
The original patches adding the functionality neglected to add any form
of documentation for the stats fields returned for this group.

The stats are directly converted from qemu's 'query-stats(-schema)' QMP
command without any further interpretation. The 'query-stats-schema' has
the following disclaimer:

 Note: runtime-collected statistics and their names fall outside QEMU's usual
       deprecation policies.  QEMU will try to keep the set of available data
       stable, together with their names, but will not guarantee stability
       at all costs; the same is true of providers that source statistics
       externally, e.g. from Linux.  For example, if the same value is being
       tracked with different names on different architectures or by different
       providers, one of them might be renamed.  A statistic might go away if
       an algorithm is changed or some code is removed; changing a default
       might cause previously useful statistics to always report 0.  Such
       changes, however, are expected to be rare.

Since libvirt is not doing any form of conversion of the stats we can't
meaningfully document any of the returned fields. At the same time we
can't even meaningfully provide any form of API stability for the field
names.

Modify the documentation for the 'VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_VM' group both in the
API docs and in the virsh man page to reflect that and disclaim any form
of stability guarantees we provide normally.

de842f37a1 docs: Remind users to remove --timeout option without socket activation
There is part of our man page that describes how to switch to the
traditional (non-socket) activation but it might still happens sometimes that
there is an extra --timeout option specified for the daemon.

f53988d657 docs: Do not support non-socket activated modular daemons with systemd
Due to the setup of the modular daemon service files the reverting to non-socket
activated daemons could have never worked.  The reason is that masking the
socket files prevents starting the daemons since they require (as in Requires=
rather than Wants= in the service file) the sockets.  On top of that it creates
issues with some libvirt-guests setups and needlessly increases our support
matrix.

Nothing prevents users to modify their setup in a way that will still work
without socket activation, but supporting such setup only creates burden on our
part.

This technically reverts most of commit 59d30adacd except the change made to
the libvirtd manpage since the monolithic daemon still supports traditional mode
of starting even on systemd.
