Peter Krempa a0d70f96ca qemuBuildControllersByTypeCommandLine: Generate via JSON
The handlers for PCI, SCSI and USB controllers already use JSON
internally. This patch converts 'virtio-serial', 'ccid' and 'sata' to do
the same and passes out the JSON directly so that it can be used in
monitor code to avoid conversion.

From the controllers converted in this patch only 'virtio-serial' has
special properties. QEMU thinks they have the following types:

  max_ports=<uint32>     -  (default: 31)
  vectors=<uint32>       -  (default: 2)

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.
