Martin Kletzander 50cc7a0d9d docs: Document watchdog action=dump slightly more
With watchdog action=dump the actual watchdog action is set to pause and
the daemon then proceeds to dump the process.  After that the domain is
resumed.  That was the case since the feature was added.  However the
resuming of the domain might be unexpected, especially when compared to
HW watchdog, which will never run the guest from the point where it got
interrupted.

Document the pre-existing behaviour, since any change might be
unexpected as well.  Change of behaviour would require new options like
dump+reset, dump+pause, etc.  That option is still possible, but
orthogonal to this change.

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.
