31d42506fb conf: add features to volume target XML
Add <features> and <compat> elements to volume target XML.

<compat> is a string which for qcow2 represents the QEMU version
it should be compatible with. Valid values are 0.10 and 1.1.
1.1 is implicit if the <features> element is present, otherwise
qemu-img default is used. 0.10 can be specified to explicitly
create older images after the qemu-img default changes.

<features> contains optional features, so far
<lazy_refcounts/> is available, which enables caching of reference
counters, improving performance for snapshots.

29bc4fe646 Add a sheepdog backend for the storage driver
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.

265457845f xml: output memory unit for clarity
Make it obvious to 'dumpxml' readers what unit we are using,
since our default of KiB for memory (1024) differs from qemu's
default of MiB; and differs from our use of bytes for storage.

Tests were updated via:

$ find tests/*data tests/*out -name '*.xml' | \
  xargs sed -i 's/<\(memory\|currentMemory\|hard_limit\|soft_limit\|min_guarantee\|swap_hard_limit\)>/<\1 unit='"'KiB'>/"
$ find tests/*data tests/*out -name '*.xml' | \
  xargs sed -i 's/<\(capacity\|allocation\|available\)>/<\1 unit='"'bytes'>/"

followed by a few fixes for the stragglers.

Note that with this patch, the RNG for <memory> still forbids
validation of anything except unit='KiB', since the code silently
ignores the attribute; a later patch will expand <memory> to allow
scaled input in the code and update the RNG to match.
