virsh: expose new active commit controls
Add knobs to virsh to manage a 2-phase active commit of the top layer, similar to knobs already present on blockcopy. While this code will fail until later patches actually implement the new knobs in the qemu driver, doing it now proves that the API is usable and also makes it easier for testing the qemu changes as they are made. * tools/virsh-domain.c (cmdBlockCommit): Add --active, --pivot, and --keep-overlay options, modeled after blockcopy. (blockJobImpl): Support --active flag. * tools/virsh.pod (blockcommit): Document new flags. (blockjob): Mention 2-phase commit interaction. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
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
