464a41bc0d qemu: delete methods which are no longer supported
The public API entry points will report VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT to the
caller when a driver does not provide an implementation of a particular
method.

When deleting methods, leaving the driver API entry point explicitly
set to NULL with an version range comment, allows the hvsupport.html
page to document when the AP was removed.

c6da5913d9 qemu: Add support for controling qemu capabilities via the qemu XML namespace
Similarly how we allow adding arbitrary command line arguments and
environment variables this patch introduces the ability to control
libvirt's perception of the qemu process by tweaking the capability bits
for testing purposes.

The idea is to allow developers and users either test a new feature by
enabling it early or disabling it to see whether it introduced
regressions.

This feature is not meant for production use though, so users should
handle it with care.

5a148ce846 remote: delete the avahi mDNS support
Libvirtd has long had integration with avahi for advertising libvirtd
using mDNS when TCP/TLS listening is enabled. For a long time the
virt-manager application had support for auto-detecting libvirtds
on the local network using mDNS, but this was removed last year

  commit fc8f8d5d7e3ba80a0771df19cf20e84a05ed2422
  Author: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>
  Date:   Sat Oct 6 20:55:31 2018 -0400

    connect: Drop avahi support

    Libvirtd can advertise itself over avahi. The feature is disabled by
    default though and in practice I hear of no one actually using it
    and frankly I don't think it's all that useful

    The 'Open Connection' wizard has a disproportionate amount of code
    devoted to this feature, but I don't think it's useful or worth
    maintaining, so let's drop it

I've never heard of any other applications having support for using
mDNS to detect libvirtd instances. Though it is theoretically possible
something exists out there, it is clearly going to be a niche use case
in the virt ecosystem as a whole.

By removing avahi integration we can cut down the dependency chain for
the basic libvirtd install and reduce our code maint burden.

ac88a8cfad docs: schemas: Add 'seclabel' for external disk snapshot
Allow using seclabels the same way as disk images allow it. Currently
the snapshot code copies the seclabels from the original image if no
seclabel is provided. Also there's no code change required as the
snapshot XML parser actually uses parts of the disk parser thus
seclabels are already parsed and formatted and even applied thus this is
just a formalization of our support for this.

cdd362e0e7 storage: escape ipv6 for ceph mon hosts to librados
Hosts for rbd are ceph monitor daemons. These have fixed IP addresses,
so they are often referenced by IP rather than hostname for
convenience, or to avoid relying on DNS. Using IPv4 addresses as the
host name works already, but IPv6 addresses require rbd-specific
escaping because the colon is used as an option separator in the
string passed to librados.

Escape these colons, and enclose the IPv6 address in square brackets
so it is distinguished from the port, which is currently mandatory.

6394cf9768 network: convert hook script to take a network port XML
When (un)plugging an interface into a network, the 'plugged'
and 'unplugged' operations are invoked in the hook script.

The data provided to the script contains the network XML, the
domain XML and the domain interface XML. When we strictly split the
drivers up this will no longer be possible and thus breakage is
unavoidable. The hook scripts are not considered to be covered by the
API guarantee so this is OK.

To avoid existing scripts taking the wrong action, the existing
operations are changed to 'port-created' and 'port-deleted'
instead. These will receive the network XML and the network port
XML.

18006c696d gitdm: Add gitdm configuration
This configuration can be used by gitdm to generate reports about
libvirt development.

The goal I was working with was being able to generate a report
for every single libvirt release and having zero "email address
as company" entries; picking different commit ranges might result
in some contributions not being accounted for.

I had to make some judgement calls when the situation was not
entirely clear-cut: when in doubt, and not finding any obvious
signs of the opposite being true, I mostly ended up dumping
people in the "unaffiliated contributions" bin. If I got it
wrong, and companies want to get recognition for their sponsored
contributions to libvirt, they can send patches.
