command: add virCommandAbort for cleanup paths
Sometimes, an asynchronous helper is started (such as a compressor or iohelper program), but a later error means that we want to abort that child. Make this easier. Note that since daemons and virCommandRunAsync can't mix, the only time virCommandFree can reap a process is if someone did virCommandRunAsync for a non-daemon and didn't stash the pid. * src/util/command.h (virCommandAbort): New prototype. * src/util/command.c (_virCommand): Add new field. (virCommandRunAsync, virCommandWait): Track whether pid was used. (virCommandFree): Reap child if caller did not request pid. (virCommandAbort): New function. * src/libvirt_private.syms (command.h): Export it. * tests/commandtest.c (test19): New test.
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.
