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.

John Ferlan 1ce9c08ab3 util: Introduce encryption APIs
Introduce virCryptoHaveCipher and virCryptoEncryptData to handle
performing encryption.

 virCryptoHaveCipher:
   Boolean function to determine whether the requested cipher algorithm
   is available. It's expected this API will be called prior to
   virCryptoEncryptdata. It will return true/false.

 virCryptoEncryptData:
   Based on the requested cipher type, call the specific encryption
   API to encrypt the data.

Currently the only algorithm support is the AES 256 CBC encryption.

Adjust tests for the API's

         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.
