Peter Krempa aca69e4420 qemublocktest: Drop 'network-sheepdog-qcow2' image creation test case
QEMU dropped sheepdog support for the 6.1 release. Since we use schema
validation in the image creation it would create test failures.

In this instance we just drop the test altogether as adding versioned
capabilities would be a bit too overkill for this scenario.

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.
