Daniel P. Berrangé 191b3b81b1 remote: extract logic for probing for modular daemons
When virtproxyd gets a NULL URI, it needs to implement probing logic
similar to that found in virConnectOpen. The latter can't be used
directly since it relied on directly calling into the internal drivers
in libvirtd. virtproxyd approximates this behaviour by looking to see
what modular daemon sockets exist, or what daemon binaries are installed.

This same logic is also going to be needed when the regular libvirt
remote client switches to prefer modular daemons by default, as we
don't want to continue spawning libvirtd going forward.

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.
