Jonathon Jongsma 05b09f039e conf: add qemu-vdagent channel
Add the ability to configure a qemu-vdagent in guest domains. This
device is similar to the spice vdagent channel except that qemu handles
the spice-vdagent protocol messages itself rather than routing them over
a spice protocol channel.

The qemu-vdagent device has two notable configuration options which
determine whether qemu will handle particular vdagent features:
'clipboard' and 'mouse'.

The 'clipboard' option allows qemu to synchronize its internal clipboard
manager with the guest clipboard, which enables client<->guest clipboard
synchronization for non-spice guests such as vnc.

The 'mouse' option allows absolute mouse positioning to be sent over the
vdagent channel rather than using a usb or virtio tablet device.

Sample configuration:
  <channel type='qemu-vdagent'>
    <target type='virtio' name='com.redhat.spice.0'/>
    <source>
      <clipboard copypaste='yes'/>
      <mouse mode='client'/>
    </source>
  </channel>

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.
