Daniel P. Berrange d6623003c6 Refactor the security drivers to simplify usage
The current security driver usage requires horrible code like

    if (driver->securityDriver &&
        driver->securityDriver->domainSetSecurityHostdevLabel &&
        driver->securityDriver->domainSetSecurityHostdevLabel(driver->securityDriver,
                                                              vm, hostdev) < 0)

This pair of checks for NULL clutters up the code, making the driver
calls 2 lines longer than they really need to be. The goal of the
patchset is to change the calling convention to simply

  if (virSecurityManagerSetHostdevLabel(driver->securityDriver,
                                        vm, hostdev) < 0)

The first check for 'driver->securityDriver' being NULL is removed
by introducing a 'no op' security driver that will always be present
if no real driver is enabled. This guarentees driver->securityDriver
!= NULL.

The second check for 'driver->securityDriver->domainSetSecurityHostdevLabel'
being non-NULL is hidden in a new abstraction called virSecurityManager.
This separates the driver callbacks, from main internal API. The addition
of a virSecurityManager object, that is separate from the virSecurityDriver
struct also allows for security drivers to carry state / configuration
information directly. Thus the DAC/Stack drivers from src/qemu which
used to pull config from 'struct qemud_driver' can now be moved into
the 'src/security' directory and store their config directly.

* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Update to
  use new virSecurityManager APIs
* src/qemu/qemu_security_dac.c,  src/qemu/qemu_security_dac.h
  src/qemu/qemu_security_stacked.c, src/qemu/qemu_security_stacked.h:
  Move into src/security directory
* src/security/security_stack.c, src/security/security_stack.h,
  src/security/security_dac.c, src/security/security_dac.h: Generic
  versions of previous QEMU specific drivers
* src/security/security_apparmor.c, src/security/security_apparmor.h,
  src/security/security_driver.c, src/security/security_driver.h,
  src/security/security_selinux.c, src/security/security_selinux.h:
  Update to take virSecurityManagerPtr object as the first param
  in all callbacks
* src/security/security_nop.c, src/security/security_nop.h: Stub
  implementation of all security driver APIs.
* src/security/security_manager.h, src/security/security_manager.c:
  New internal API for invoking security drivers
* src/libvirt.c: Add missing debug for security APIs

         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.

Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
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.
