Andrea Bolognani 957eea376b meson: Improve default firewall backend configuration
The current implementation requires users to configure the
preference as such:

  -Dfirewall_backend_default_1=iptables
  -Dfirewall_backend_default_2=nftables

In addition to being more verbose than one would hope, there
are several things that could go wrong.

First of all, meson performs no validation on the provided
values, so mistakes will only be caught by the compiler.
Additionally, it's entirely possible to provide nonsensical
combinations, such as repeating the same value twice.

Change things so that the preference can now be configured
as such:

  -Dfirewall_backend_priority=iptables,nftables

Checks have been added to prevent invalid values from being
accepted.

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.
