qemu: work around dash 0.5.5 bug in managed save
Older dash mistakenly truncates regular files when using <> redirection; this kills our use of double dd to reduce storage overhead when saving qemu images. But qemu insists on running a command through /bin/sh, so we work around it by having qemu run $sh -c 'real command' when we have a replacement $sh in mind. * configure.ac (VIR_WRAPPER_SHELL): Define to a replacement shell, if /bin/sh is broken on <> redirection. * src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h (VIR_WRAPPER_SHELL_PREFIX) (VIR_WRAPPER_SHELL_SUFFIX): New macros. * src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c (qemuMonitorTextMigrateToFile): Use them. * src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c (qemuMonitorJSONMigrateToFile): Likewise.
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.
