Martin Kletzander 540a84ec89 docs, conf, schema: add support for shmem device
This patch adds parsing/formatting code as well as documentation for
shared memory devices.  This will currently be only accessible in QEMU
using it's ivshmem device, but is designed as generic as possible to
allow future expansion for other hypervisors.

In the devices section in the domain XML users may specify:

- For shmem device using a server:

 <shmem name='shmem0'>
   <server path='/tmp/socket-ivshmem0'/>
   <size unit='M'>32</size>
   <msi vectors='32' ioeventfd='on'/>
 </shmem>

- For ivshmem device not using an ivshmem server:

 <shmem name='shmem1'>
   <size unit='M'>32</size>
 </shmem>

Most of the configuration is made optional so it also allows
specifications like:

 <shmem name='shmem1/>
 <shmem name='shmem2'>
   <server/>
 </shmem>

         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.
