Daniel P. Berrange d76227bea3 Introduce new domain create APIs to pass pre-opened FDs to LXC 
With container based virt, it is useful to be able to pass
pre-opened file descriptors to the container init process.
This allows for containers to be auto-activated from incoming
socket connections, passing the active socket into the container.

To do this, introduce a pair of new APIs, virDomainCreateXMLWithFiles
and virDomainCreateWithFiles, which accept an array of file
descriptors. For the LXC driver, UNIX file descriptor passing
will be used to send them to libvirtd, which will them pass
them down to libvirt_lxc, which will then pass them to the container
init process.

This will only be implemented for LXC right now, but the design
is generic enough it could work with other hypervisors, hence
I suggest adding this to libvirt.so, rather than libvirt-lxc.so

    libvirt Python Bindings README
    ==============================

Most of the libvirt python binding code is automatically generated
using the script  generator.py, and the API description from
docs/libvirt-api.xml


Manually written files:

 - libvirt-override.c: methods where the C binding needs to be hand crafted
 - libvirt-override.py: global methods where the C and python bindings have different args
 - libvirt-override-api.xml: methods where the auto-extracted API docs are not
   suitable for python auto-generator. Overriding this if the method is going
   into libvirt-override.c, but we still want auto-generated libvirt-override.py
 - libvirt-override-virConnect.py: virConnect class methods
 - typewrappers.h,.c: Python object wrappers for each libvirt C object


Auto-generated files:

  - libvirt.py: The main python binding. Comprises auto-generated code, along
    with contents from libvirt-override.py and libvirt-override-virConnect.py
  - libvirt.c, libvirt.h: The C glue layer for the python binding. Comprises
    auto-generated code, along with libvirt-override.c
  - libvirt-export.c: List of auto-generated C methods, included into
    the libvirt-override.c method table
