esx: Restrict vpx:// to handle a single host in a vCenter
Now a vpx:// connection has an explicitly specified host. This allows to enabled several functions for a vpx:// connection again, like host UUID, hostname, general node info, max vCPU count, free memory, migration and defining new domains. Lookup datacenter, compute resource, resource pool and host system once and cache them. This simplifies the rest of the code and reduces overall HTTP(S) traffic a bit. esx:// and vpx:// can be mixed freely for a migration. Ensure that migration source and destination refer to the same vCenter. Also directly encode the resource pool and host system object IDs into the migration URI in the prepare function. Then directly build managed object references in the perform function instead of re-looking up already known information.
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.
