This wires up support for using the new virt-ssh-helper binary with the ssh,
libssh and libssh2 protocols.
The new binary will be used preferentially if it is available in $PATH,
otherwise we fall back to traditional netcat.
The "proxy" URI parameter can be used to force use of netcat e.g.
qemu+ssh://host/system?proxy=netcat
or the disable fallback e.g.
qemu+ssh://host/system?proxy=native
With use of virt-ssh-helper, we can now support remote session URIs
qemu+ssh://host/session
and this will only use virt-ssh-helper, with no fallback. This also lets
the libvirtd process be auto-started, and connect directly to the
modular daemons, avoiding use of virtproxyd back-compat tunnelling.

Add some expanded examples for the nat ipv6 introduced with
927acaedec.
Unfortunately while for IPv4 it's well-known what addresses ranges are
useful for NAT, with IPv6 unless you enjoy digging through RFC's going
back-and-forth over unique local addresses and the meaning of the word
"site" it's generally much less obvious. I've tried to add some
details on choosing a range inline with RFC 4193 and then some
pointers for when it maybe doesn't work in the guest as you first
expect despite you doing what the RFC's say!

Even though this was brought up in upstream discussion [1] it
missed my patches: users should prefer <oemStrings/> over fwcfg.
The reason is that fwcfg is considered somewhat internal to QEMU
and it has limited number of slots and neither of these applies
to <oemStrings/>.
While I'm at it, I'm fixing the example too (because it contains
incorrect element name) and clarifying sysfs/ exposure.

Local socket connections were outright disabled because there was no "server"
part in the URI. However, given how requirements and usage scenarios are
evolving, some management apps might need the source libvirt daemon to connect
to the destination daemon over a UNIX socket for peer2peer migration. Since we
cannot know where the socket leads (whether the same daemon or not) let's decide
that based on whether the socket path is non-standard, or rather explicitly
specified in the URI. Checking non-standard path would require to ask the
daemon for configuration and the only misuse that it would prevent would be a
pretty weird one. And that's not worth it. The assumption is that whenever
someone uses explicit UNIX socket paths in the URI for migration they better
know what they are doing.

Currently, we are mixing: #if HAVE_BLAH with #if WITH_BLAH.
Things got way better with Pavel's work on meson, but apparently,
mixing these two lead to confusing and easy to miss bugs (see
31fb929eca for instance). While we were forced to use HAVE_
prefix with autotools, we are free to chose our own prefix with
meson and since WITH_ prefix appears to be more popular let's use

By default Xen only allows guests to write "known safe" values into PCI
configuration space, yet many devices require writes to other areas of
the configuration space in order to operate properly. To allow writing
any values Xen supports the 'permissive' setting, see xl.cfg(5) man page.
This change models Xen's permissive setting by adding a writeFiltering
attribute on the <source> element of a PCI hostdev. When writeFiltering
is set to 'no', the Xen permissive setting will be enabled and guests
will be able to write any values into the device's configuration space.
The permissive setting remains disabled in the absense of the
writeFiltering attribute, of if it is explicitly set to 'yes'.

Changes:
- Update the descriptions of --current & --config flags.
For --config, the reason to rephrase "next boot" to "next start"
is: "Next boot may still imply somebody selecting "reboot" in the
guest OS and fully expecting the changes to be applied." (per Peter
Krempa)
For --current, existing documentation says:
"If *--current* is specified, affect the current guest state."
It's not entirely clear what states can "current" mean or imply. So
rephrase it in context of the other two related flags --live and
--config.
- While at it, I also took the liberty to replace the few occurrences
of "peristent domain[s]" with "persistent guest[s]"
Fix all occurrences (i.e. as many as I could spot) of this.
