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.

Cole Robinson 8da02d5280 rpc: socket: Explicitly error if we exceed retry count
When we autolaunch libvirtd for session URIs, we spin in a retry
loop waiting for the daemon to start and the connect(2) to succeed.

However if we exceed the retry count, we don't explicitly raise an
error, which can yield a slew of different error messages elsewhere
in the code.

Explicitly raise the last connect(2) failure if we run out of retries.

         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.
