87b4e1cd7e docs: schemas: Decouple the virtio options from each other
Currently, all of the VirtioOptions are under a single <optional>
element, however, neither our parser/formatter or QEMU driver requires
the presence of all the options if only a single one from the set has
been specified, so fix it and silence the schema validator.

80d1ed9773 conf: Introduce 'alignsize' element into xml for NVDIMM memory
NVDIMM emulation will mmap the backend file, it uses host pagesize
as the alignment of mapping address before, but some backends may
require alignments different from the pagesize. So the 'alignsize'
option is introduced to allow specification of the proper alignment:

<devices>
  ...
  <memory model='nvdimm' access='shared'>
      <source>
          <path>/dev/dax0.0</path>

fe8eb8839a docs: Improve description of <hard_limit>
/domain/memtune/hard_limit provides a way to cap the memory a VM process
can use, including the amount of memory the process can lock. When memory
locking of a VM is requested, <hard_limit> can be used to prevent the
potential host DoS issue mentioned in /domain/memoryBacking/locked
description.

This patch improves the <hard_limit> text by clarifying it can be used
to prevent "host crashing" when VM memory is locked.

07c9d6601d qemu: use line breaks in command line args written to log
The QEMU command line arguments are very long and currently all written
on a single line to /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$GUEST.log. This introduces
logic to add line breaks after every env variable and "-" optional
argument, and every positional argument. This will create a clearer log
file, which will in turn present better in bug reports when people cut +
paste from the log into a bug comment.

An example log file entry now looks like this:

600462834f Remove all Author(s): lines from source file headers
In many files there are header comments that contain an Author:
statement, supposedly reflecting who originally wrote the code.
In a large collaborative project like libvirt, any non-trivial
file will have been modified by a large number of different
contributors. IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,
omitting people who have made significant contribitions.

In some places Author: lines have been added despite the person
merely being responsible for creating the file by moving existing
code out of another file. IOW, the Author: lines give an incorrect
record of authorship.

With this all in mind, the comments are useless as a means to identify
who to talk to about code in a particular file. Contributors will always
be better off using 'git log' and 'git blame' if they need to  find the
author of a particular bit of code.

This commit thus deletes all Author: comments from the source and adds
a rule to prevent them reappearing.

The Copyright headers are similarly misleading and inaccurate, however,
we cannot delete these as they have legal meaning, despite being largely
inaccurate. In addition only the copyright holder is permitted to change
their respective copyright statement.

24b74d187c qemu: add memfd source type
Add a new memoryBacking source type "memfd", supported by QEMU (when
the capability is available).

A memfd is a specialized anonymous memory kind. As such, an anonymous
source type could be automatically using a memfd. However, there are
some complications when migrating from different memory backends in
qemu (mainly due to the internal object naming at this point, but
there could be more). For now, it is simpler and safer to simply
introduce a new source type "memfd". Eventually, the "anonymous" type
could learn to use memfd transparently in a separate change.

The main benefits are that it doesn't need to create filesystem files,
and it also enforces sealing, providing a bit more safety.
