e4bf03b8ff docs: Clarify semantics of model/@usable attribute in dom caps
The documentation could confuse people to expect that CPU models with
usable='no' attribute are not usable at all on the current host. But
they cannot be only used without explicitly disabling some features.

d146105f1e virCommand: Actually acquire pidfile instead of just writing it
Our virCommand module allows us to set a pidfile for commands we
want to spawn. The caller constructs the string of pidfile path
and then uses virCommandSetPidFile() to tell the module to write
the pidfile once the command is ran. This usually works, but has
two flaws:

1) the child process does not hold the pidfile open & locked.
Therefore, the caller (or anybody else) can't use our fancy
virPidFileForceCleanupPath() function to kill the command
afterwards. Also, for everybody else on the system it's
needlessly harder to check if the pid from the pidfile is still
alive or not.

2) if the caller ever makes a mistake and passes the same pidfile
path for two different commands, the start of the second command
will overwrite the pidfile even though the first command might
still be running.

NOTE that this temporarily renders some command spawning
unusable, specifically those code patterns where both
virCommandSetPidFile() is used together with instructing spawned
command to acquire pidfile itself. Fortunately, there is only one
occurrence of such pattern and it is in
qemuProcessStartManagedPRDaemon(). This is fixed in next commit.

08ed673901 conf: Introduce optional 'uuid' element for NVDIMM memory
ppc64 NVDIMM support was implemented in QEMU by commit [1].
The support is similar to what x86 already does, aside from
an extra 'uuid' element.

This patch introduces a new optional 'uuid' element for the
NVDIMM memory model. This element behaves like the 'uuid'
element of the domain definition - if absent, we'll create
a new one, otherwise use the one provided by the XML.
The 'uuid' element is exclusive to pseries guests and are
unavailable for other architectures.

Next patch will use this new element to add NVDIMM support
for ppc64.

2621d48f00 gnulib: delete all gnulib integration
This deletes all trace of gnulib from libvirt. We still
have the keycodemapdb submodule to deal with. The simple
solution taken was to update it when running autogen.sh.

Previously gnulib could auto-trigger refresh when running
'make' too. We could figure out a solution for this, but
with the pending meson rewrite it isn't worth worrying
about, given how infrequently keycodemapdb changes.

fb0509d06a conf: parse/format <teaming> subelement of <interface>
The subelement <teaming> of <interface> devices is used to configure a
simple teaming association between two interfaces in a domain. Example:

  <interface type='bridge'>
    <source bridge='br0'/>
    <model type='virtio'/>
    <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
    <alias name='ua-backup0'/>
    <teaming type='persistent'/>
  </interface>
  <interface type='hostdev'>
    <source>
      <address type='pci' bus='0x02' slot='0x10' function='0x4'/>
    </source>
    <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
    <teaming type='transient' persistent='ua-backup0'/>
  </interface>

The interface with <teaming type='persistent'/> is assumed to always
be present, while the interface with type='transient' may be be
unplugged and later re-plugged; the persistent='blah' attribute (and
in the one currently available implementation, also the matching MAC
addresses) is what associates the two devices with each other. It is
up to the hypervisor and the guest network drivers to determine what
to do with this information.

201156ec6e docs: add pages to support Go module package resolution
Currently the libvirt Go modules are accessed by applications using
their github repository URLs. This is undesirable as we don't want
applications to have a direct dependancy on a specific source repo
location. We want to enable applications to use the Go packages via
the libvirt.org namespace.

When you do "go get libvirt.org/libvirt-go", the Go client will do an
HTTPS request to that URL, and parse the HTML content to look for a
<meta> tag which tells it where to the find the GIT repository.

   https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Remote_import_paths

This adds two pages to support this Go module resolution. They are
not linked from anywhere as we don't expect users to actually look
at them. If someone does happen upon them, there's some boilerplate
text to send them off to godoc.org for API documentation.

Since the pages we're adding have a .html extension, we will also
use a small apache config tweak on the server

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^/libvirt-go$ /libvirt-go.html [L]
    RewriteRule ^/libvirt-go-xml$ /libvirt-go-xml.html [L]

d600667278 qemu: introduce a new "virt-qemu-run" program
The previous "QEMU shim" proof of concept was taking an approach of only
caring about initial spawning of the QEMU process. It was then
registered with the libvirtd daemon who took over management of it. The
intent was that later libvirtd would be refactored so that the shim
retained control over the QEMU monitor and libvirt just forwarded APIs
to each shim as needed. This forwarding of APIs would require quite alot
of significant refactoring of libvirtd to achieve.

This impl thus takes a quite different approach, explicitly deciding to
keep the VMs completely separate from those seen & managed by libvirtd.
Instead it uses the new "qemu:///embed" URI scheme to embed the entire
QEMU driver in the shim, running with a custom root directory.

Once the driver is initialization, the shim starts a VM and then waits
to shutdown automatically when QEMU shuts down, or should kill QEMU if
it is terminated itself. This ought to use the AUTO_DESTROY feature but
that is not yet available in embedded mode, so we rely on installing a
few signal handlers to gracefully kill QEMU. This isn't reliable if
we crash of course, but you can restart with the same root dir.

Note this program does not expose any way to manage the QEMU process,
since there's no RPC interface enabled. It merely starts the VM and
cleans up when the guest shuts down at the end. This program is
installed to /usr/bin/virt-qemu-run enabling direct use by end users.
Most use cases will probably want to integrate the concept directly
into their respective application codebases. This standalone binary
serves as a nice demo though, and also provides a way to measure
performance of the startup process quite simply.

3e9076e777 secrets: add support for running secret driver in embedded mode
This enables support for running the secret driver embedded to the

       configDir: /var/tmp/embed/etc/secrets
        stateDir: /var/tmp/embed/run/secrets

These are identical whether the embedded driver is privileged

This compares with the system instance which uses

       configDir: /etc/libvirt/secrets
        stateDir: /var/lib/libvirt/secrets

When an embedded instance of the secret driver is open, any other
embedded drivers will automatically use the embedded secret driver.

This enables support for running QEMU embedded to the calling
application process using a URI:

   qemu:///embed?root=/some/path

Note that it is important to keep the path reasonably short to
avoid risk of hitting the limit on UNIX socket path names
which is 108 characters.

When using the embedded mode with a root=/var/tmp/embed, the
driver will use the following paths:

                logDir: /var/tmp/embed/log/qemu
           swtpmLogDir: /var/tmp/embed/log/swtpm
         configBaseDir: /var/tmp/embed/etc/qemu
              stateDir: /var/tmp/embed/run/qemu
         swtpmStateDir: /var/tmp/embed/run/swtpm
              cacheDir: /var/tmp/embed/cache/qemu
                libDir: /var/tmp/embed/lib/qemu
       swtpmStorageDir: /var/tmp/embed/lib/swtpm
 defaultTLSx509certdir: /var/tmp/embed/etc/pki/qemu

These are identical whether the embedded driver is privileged
or unprivileged.

This compares with the system instance which uses

                logDir: /var/log/libvirt/qemu
           swtpmLogDir: /var/log/swtpm/libvirt/qemu
         configBaseDir: /etc/libvirt/qemu
              stateDir: /run/libvirt/qemu
         swtpmStateDir: /run/libvirt/qemu/swtpm
              cacheDir: /var/cache/libvirt/qemu
                libDir: /var/lib/libvirt/qemu
       swtpmStorageDir: /var/lib/libvirt/swtpm
 defaultTLSx509certdir: /etc/pki/qemu

At this time all features present in the QEMU driver are available when
running in embedded mode, availability matching whether the embedded
driver is privileged or unprivileged.

7b79ee2f78 hostcpu: add support for reporting die_id in NUMA topology
Update the host CPU code to report the die_id in the NUMA topology
capabilities. On systems with multiple dies, this fixes the bug
where CPU cores can't be distinguished:

 <cpus num='12'>
   <cpu id='0' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='0'/>
   <cpu id='1' socket_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='1'/>
   <cpu id='2' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='2'/>
   <cpu id='3' socket_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='3'/>
 </cpus>

Notice how core_id is repeated within the scope of the same socket_id.

It now reports

 <cpus num='12'>
   <cpu id='0' socket_id='0' die_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='0'/>
   <cpu id='1' socket_id='0' die_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='1'/>
   <cpu id='2' socket_id='0' die_id='1' core_id='0' siblings='2'/>
   <cpu id='3' socket_id='0' die_id='1' core_id='1' siblings='3'/>
 </cpus>

So core_id is now unique within a (socket_id, die_id) pair.
