ebc241fcff docs: Update language bindings spotlight
We should highlight the language bindings that are actively
maintained, keep up with the core library's development pace,
have good API coverage and are relevant to people looking to
integrate libvirt into their projects today: based on these
criteria, it makes sense to highlight the Go binding instead
of the Java one.

9e93d87c00 docs: Document SELinux caveats when migrating over UNIX sockets
The information about sockets having different label than the one on the file
and the way it needs to be set is very difficult to find for those who did not
come across it before.  Let's describe what needs to happen in order for the
migration to go through rather than rely on general knowledge of others.

3fc4412c6f qemu: support kvm-poll-control performance hint
QEMU version 4.2 introduced a performance feature under commit
d645e13287 ("kvm: i386: halt poll control MSR support").

This patch adds a new KVM feature 'poll-control' to set this performance
hint for KVM guests. The feature is off by default.

To enable this hint and have libvirt add "-cpu host,kvm-poll-control=on"
to the QEMU command line, the following XML code needs to be added to the
guest's domain description:

  <features>
    <kvm>
      <poll-control state='on'/>
    </kvm>
  </features>

9fd2e78b96 docs: xsl: Unify stylability of main container element
page.xsl was adding '<div id="content">' wrapper for the content picked
up from the <body> element from the original input file. Optionally
class="$DOCNAME" was added for some documents taken from <body>.

Since docs generated from RST by docutils have a '<div class='document'
id='$DOCNAME>' we actually don't need an extra wrapper for them.

Additionally if we standardize on one of them we can use the same styles
for both. I've picked the latter because it makes more sense to use the
document name as 'id'.

This patch:
1) Modifies the XSL trasformation to add the wrapper only if it's not
   present.

2) Modifies the XSL transformation to use 'id' for document name and
   class='document' for the wrapper element.

3) Changes docs.html/index.html/hvsupport.html to use 'id' instead of
   'class' for document name.

4) Modifies the main stylesheet to keep styling the elements properly

53aec799fa Include vdpa devices in node device list
The current udev node device driver ignores all events related to vdpa
devices. Since libvirt now supports vDPA network devices, include these
devices in the device list.

Example output:

virsh # nodedev-list
[...ommitted long list of nodedevs...]
vdpa_vdpa0

virsh # nodedev-dumpxml vdpa_vdpa0
<device>
  <name>vdpa_vdpa0</name>
  <path>/sys/devices/vdpa0</path>
  <parent>computer</parent>
  <driver>
    <name>vhost_vdpa</name>
  </driver>
  <capability type='vdpa'>
    <chardev>/dev/vhost-vdpa-0</chardev>
  </capability>
</device>

NOTE: normally the 'parent' would be a PCI device instead of 'computer',
but this example output is from the vdpa_sim kernel module, so it
doesn't have a normal parent device.

08f8fd8413 conf: Add support for vDPA network devices
This patch adds new schema and adds support for parsing and formatting
domain configurations that include vdpa devices.

vDPA network devices allow high-performance networking in a virtual
machine by providing a wire-speed data path. These devices require a
vendor-specific host driver but the data path follows the virtio
specification.

When a device on the host is bound to an appropriate vendor-specific
driver, it will create a chardev on the host at e.g.  /dev/vhost-vdpa-0.
That chardev path can then be used to define a new interface with
type='vdpa'.

Meson unfortunately doesn't give us any means to share the code using
xsltproc to output HTMLs processed by our template. This means we will
have to resort to copy&paste engineering.

To make things simpler, let's use the same block of code in
docs/meson.build but also any of the subdirs which generate htmls.

This will be achieved by making it configurable and wrapping it in a
comment that instructs anybody editing it to keep it identical.

We need to be able to configure the template file used and installation
directory. The rest of the processing is same as we do in
docs/meson.build.

This code will then be copied to subdirs to refactor the current
approach used there.
