Richard W.M. Jones 94e8a5b650 vmx: Allow '*' to appear in VMX file keys
When connecting to a VMware server (eg using vpx://) we download and
try to parse the VMware metadata '*.vmx' file of a guest.  In this
case a VMX file was found which contained this key:

  pciPassthru*.present = "False"

The '*' character was not previously allowed in keys so this failed to
parse with the error:

  VIR_ERR_CONF_SYNTAX: VIR_FROM_CONF: configuration file syntax error:
  memory conf:74: expecting an assignment

Resolves: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-58446

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.
