Historically we have used a bare lxc:/// URI for connecting to LXC. This
is different from our practice with QEMU, UML, Parallels, Libxl, BHyve
and VirtualBox drivers, which all use a path of '/system' or '/session'
or both.
By making LXC allow '/system', we have fully standardized on the use of
either '/system' or '/session' for all the stateful drivers that run
inside libvirtd.
Support for lxc:/// is of course maintained for back-compat.

Historically we have used a bare xen:/// URI for connecting to the
legacy Xen driver. The new libxl Xen driver follows the new practice
of allowing '/system' as a path, as well as bare '/' for compat with
the old Xen driver.
This documents xen:///system as the preferred format for Xen, leaving
xen:/// as an undocumented feature just for back-compat.

For the virsh pool-{define|create}-as command, let's allow using
--secret-uuid on the command line as an alternative to --secret-usage
(added for commit id '8932580'), but ensure that they are mutually
exclusive.
So we refer to the terms 'persistent' and 'transient' across the whole
man page, without describing it further, but more importantly, how the
create command affects it, i.e. explicitly stating that domain created
via the 'create' command are going to be transient or persistent,
depending on whether there is an existing persistent domain with a
matching <name> and <uuid>, in which case it will remain persistent, but
will run using a one-time configuration, otherwise it's going to be
transient and will vanish once destroyed.

virt-install and virt-manager both default to explicitly setting
"io='native'" in the disk "driver" tag. virsh, however, does not and also
does not provide an option to specify that setting at all. As a result,
disks use a different IO mechanism (the default, "threads") when attached
post-setup using virsh. Adding this option allows users to keep disk
performance consistent for disks attached at install, and those attached
afterward.

Rather than have the Disk code having to use PARTED to determine if

and only fallback to the PARTED probing if the BLKID code isn't built in.
This will also provide a mechanism for the other current caller (File
System Backend) to utilize a PARTED parsing algorithm in the event that
BLKID isn't built in to at least see if *something* exists on the disk
before blindly trying to use. The PARTED error checking will not find
file system types, but if there is a partition table set on the device,
it will at least cause a failure.
Move virStorageBackendDiskValidLabel and virStorageBackendDiskFindLabel

Commit id '27758859' introduced the "NO_OVERWRITE" flag check for
file system backends; however, the implementation, documentation,
and algorithm was inconsistent. For the "flag" description for the
API the flag was described as "Do not overwrite existing pool";
however, within the storage backend code the flag is described
as "it probes to determine if filesystem already exists on the
target device, renurning an error if exists".
The code itself was implemented using the paradigm to set up the
superblock probe by creating a filter that would cause the code
to only search for the provided format type. If that type wasn't
found, then the algorithm would return success allowing the caller
to format the device. If the format type already existed on the
device, then the code would fail indicating that the a filesystem
of the same type existed on the device.
The result is that if someone had a file system of one type on the
device, it was possible to overwrite it if a different format type
was specified in updated XML effectively trashing whatever was on
the device already.
This patch alters what NO_OVERWRITE does for a file system backend
to be more realistic and consistent with what should be expected when
the caller requests to not overwrite the data on the disk.
Rather than filter results based on the expected format type, the
code will allow success/failure be determined solely on whether the
blkid_do_probe calls finds some known format on the device. This
adjustment also allows removal of the virStoragePoolProbeResult
enum that was under utilized.
If it does find a formatted file system different errors will be
generated indicating a file system of a specific type already exists
or a file system of some other type already exists.
In the original virsh support commit id 'ddcd5674', the description
for '--no-overwrite' within the 'pool-build' command help output
has an ambiguous "of this type" included in the short description.
Compared to the longer description within the "Build a given pool."
section of the virsh.pod file it's more apparent that the meaning
of this flag would cause failure if a probe of the target already
has a filesystem.
So this patch also modifies the short description to just be the
antecedent of the 'overwrite' flag, which matches the API description.
This patch also modifies the grammar in virsh.pod for no-overwrite
as well as reworking the paragraph formats to make it easier to read.
