qemu: Add ability to abort existing console while creating new one
This patch fixes console corruption, that happens if two concurrent sessions are opened for a single console on a domain. Result of this corruption was that each of the console streams recieved just a part of the data written to the pipe so every console rendered unusable. New helper function for safe console handling is used to establish the console stream connection. This function ensures that no other libvirt client is using the console (with the ability to disconnect consoles of libvirt clients) and that no UUCP style lockfile is placed on the PTY device. * src/qemu/qemu_domain.h - add data structure to domain's private data dealing with console connections * src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: - allocate/free domain's console data structure * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c - use the new helper function for console handling
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.
