Add a virtlogd-admin-sock can serves the admin protocol for the virtlogd
daemon and define a virtlogd:///{system,session} URI scheme for
connecting to it.

The initial assumption was ~2 files per guest, but some common setups
like Openstack drive up to 4 files per guest.
E.g. on Arm where the following XML leads to 4 file handles:
<serial type='file'>
<source path='/var/lib/nova/instances/7c0dcd78-.../console.log'/>
<target port='0'/>
<alias name='serial0'/>
</serial>
<console type='file'>
<source path='/var/lib/nova/instances/7c0dcd78-.../console.log'/>
<target type='serial' port='0'/>
<alias name='serial0'/>
</console>
With that in mind and the target to support 4k guests by default we
should raise the limit to 16k.

Linux still defaults to a 1024 open file handle limit. This causes
scalability problems for libvirtd / virtlockd / virtlogd on large
hosts which might want > 1024 guest to be running. In fact if each
guest needs > 1 FD, we can't even get to 500 guests. This is not
good enough when we see machines with 100's of physical cores and
TBs of RAM.
In comparison to other memory requirements of libvirtd & related
daemons, the resource usage associated with open file handles
is essentially line noise. It is thus reasonable to increase the
limits unconditionally for all installs.

Commit 839a060 tied the lifecycle of virtlogd more
closely to that of libvirtd. Unfortunately, while starting
virtlogd when libvirtd is started is definitely a good idea,
restarting virtlogd or shutting it down at any time outside
of system poweroff is not.
Revert part of that commit by removing the PartOf= lines,
meaning that only startup requests will be propagated from
libvirtd to virtlogd.

We already guarantee that virtlogd.socket is enabled/disabled
along with libvirtd.service, but if libvirtd.service has just
been installed and is started before rebooting, then
virtlogd.socket will not be running and guest startup will
fail.
Add Requires=virtlogd.socket to libvirtd.service to make sure
virtlogd.socket is always started along with libvirtd.service,
and add Before=libvirtd.service to both virtlogd.socket and
virtlogd.service so that virtlogd never disappears before
libvirtd has exited.
Also add PartOf=libvirtd.service to both virtlogd.socket and
virtlogd.service, so that virtlogd can be shut down when not
needed.

Copy the virtlockd codebase across to form the initial virlogd
code. Simple search & replace of s/lock/log/ and gut the remote
protocol & dispatcher. This gives us a daemon that starts up
and listens for connections, but does nothing with them.
