Martin Kletzander a8743c3938 rpc: Remove keepalive_required option
Since its introduction in 2011 (particularly in commit f4324e3292),
the option doesn't work.  It just effectively disables all incoming
connections.  That's because the client private data that contain the
'keepalive_supported' boolean, are initialized to zeroes so the bool is
false and the only other place where the bool is used is when checking
whether the client supports keepalive.  Thus, according to the server,
no client supports keepalive.

Removing this instead of fixing it is better because a) apparently
nobody ever tried it since 2011 (4 years without one month) and b) we
cannot know whether the client supports keepalive until we get a ping or
pong keepalive packet.  And that won't happen until after we dispatched
the ConnectOpen call.

Another two reasons would be c) the keepalive_required was tracked on
the server level, but keepalive_supported was in private data of the
client as well as the check that was made in the remote layer, thus
making all other instances of virNetServer miss this feature unless they
all implemented it for themselves and d) we can always add it back in
case there is a request and a use-case for it.

# socket only GSSAPI & DIGEST-MD5 mechanisms will be used.
# For non-TCP or TLS sockets, any scheme is allowed.
#
# - polkit: use PolicyKit to authenticate. This is only suitable

# Logging filters:
# A filter allows to select a different logging level for a given category
# of logs
# The format for a filter is one of:
# x:name
# x:+name
# where name is a string which is matched against source file name,
# e.g., "remote", "qemu", or "util/json", the optional "+" prefix
# tells libvirt to log stack trace for each message matching name,
# and x is the minimal level where matching messages should be logged:
# 1: DEBUG
# 2: INFO
# 3: WARNING
# 4: ERROR
#
# Multiple filters can be defined in a single @filters, they just need to be
# separated by spaces.
#
# e.g. to only get warning or errors from the remote layer and only errors
# from the event layer:
#log_filters="3:remote 4:event"
# Logging outputs:
# An output is one of the places to save logging information
# The format for an output can be:
# x:stderr
# output goes to stderr
# x:syslog:name
# use syslog for the output and use the given name as the ident
# x:file:file_path
# output to a file, with the given filepath
# x:journald
# output to journald logging system
# In all case the x prefix is the minimal level, acting as a filter
# 1: DEBUG
# 2: INFO
# 3: WARNING
# 4: ERROR
#
# Multiple outputs can be defined, they just need to be separated by spaces.
# e.g. to log all warnings and errors to syslog under the libvirtd ident:
#log_outputs="3:syslog:libvirtd"

# Keepalive protocol:
# This allows libvirtd to detect broken client connections or even

# keepalive_interval seconds of inactivity to check if the client is
# still responding; keepalive_count is a maximum number of keepalive
# messages that are allowed to be sent to the client without getting
# any response before the connection is considered broken. In other
# words, the connection is automatically closed approximately after
# keepalive_interval * (keepalive_count + 1) seconds since the last
# message received from the client. If keepalive_interval is set to
# -1, libvirtd will never send keepalive requests; however clients
# can still send them and the daemon will send responses. When

# closed after keepalive_interval seconds of inactivity without
# sending any keepalive messages.
