Laine Stump 37800af9a4 network: inhibit idle timeout of daemon if there are any active networks
When the daemons were split out from the monolithic libvirtd, the
network driver didn't implement "inhibit idle timeout if there are any
active objects" as was done for other drivers, so virtnetworkd would
always exit after 120 seconds of no incoming connections. This didn't
every cause any visible problem, although it did mean that anytime a
network API was called after an idle time > 120 seconds, that the
restarting virtnetworkd would flush and reload all the
iptables/nftables rules for any active networks.

This patch replicates what is done in the QEMU driver - an nactive is
added to the network driver object, along with an inhibitCallback; the
latter is passed into networkStateInitialize when the driver is
loaded, and the former is incremented for each already-active network,
then incremented/decremented each time a network is started or
stopped. If nactive transitions from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0, inhibitCallback
is called, and it "does the right stuff" to prevent/enable the idle
timeout.

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.
