Laine Stump 01fd85fed9 network: move all functions manipulating iptables rules into network_iptables.c
Although initially we will add exactly the same rules for the nftables
backend, the two may (hopefully) soon diverge as we take advantage of
nftables features that weren't available in iptables. When we do that,
there will need to be a different version of these functions (currently in
bridge_driver_linux.c) for each backend:

  networkAddFirewallRules()
  networkRemoveFirewallRules()
  networkSetupPrivateChains()

Although it will mean duplicating some amount of code (with just the
function names changed) for the nftables backend, this patch moves all
of the rule-related code in the above three functions into iptables*()
functions in network_iptables.c, and changes the functions in
bridge_driver_linux.c to call the iptables*() functions. When we make
a different backend, it will only need to make equivalents of those 3
functions publicly available to the upper layer.

Libvirt API for virtualization

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
