Remote driver & daemon impl of new event API
This wires up the remote driver to handle the new events APIs. The public API allows an application to request a callback filters events to a specific domain object, and register multiple callbacks for the same event type. On the wire there are two strategies for this - Register multiple callbacks with the remote daemon, each with filtering as needed - Register only one callback per event type, with no filtering Both approaches have potential inefficiency. In the first scheme, the same event gets sent over the wire many times if multiple callbacks are registered. With the second scheme, unneccessary events get sent over the wire if a per-domain filter is set on the client. The second scheme is far easier to implement though, so this patch takes that approach. * daemon/dispatch.h: Don't export remoteRelayDomainEvent since it is no longer needed for unregistering callbacks, instead the unique callback ID is used * daemon/libvirtd.c, daemon/libvirtd.h: Track and unregister callbacks based on callback ID, instead of function pointer * daemon/remote.c: Switch over to using virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny instead of legacy virConnectDomainEventRegister function. Refactor remoteDispatchDomainEventSend() to cope with arbitrary event types * src/driver.h, src/driver.c: Move verify() call into source file instead of header, to avoid polluting the global namespace with the verify function name * src/remote/remote_driver.c: Implement new APIs for event registration. Refactor processCallDispatchMessage() to cope with arbitrary incoming event types. Merge remoteDomainQueueEvent() into processCallDispatchMessage() to avoid duplication of code. Rename remoteDomainReadEvent() to remoteDomainReadEventLifecycle() * src/remote/remote_protocol.x: Define wire format for the new virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny and virConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny functions
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
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.
