Close the source fd if the destination qemu exits during tunnelled migration
Tunnelled migration can hang if the destination qemu exits despite all the
ABI checks. This happens whenever the destination qemu exits before the
complete transfer is noticed by source qemu. The savevm state checks at
runtime can fail at destination and cause qemu to error out.
The source qemu cant notice it as the EPIPE is not propogated to it.
The qemuMigrationIOFunc() notices the stream being broken from virStreamSend()
and it cleans up the stream alone. The qemuMigrationWaitForCompletion() would
never get to 100% transfer completion.
The qemuMigrationWaitForCompletion() never breaks out as well since
the ssh connection to destination is healthy, and the source qemu also thinks
the migration is ongoing as the Fd to which it transfers, is never
closed or broken. So, the migration will hang forever. Even Ctrl-C on the
virsh migrate wouldn't be honoured. Close the source side FD when there is
an error in the stream. That way, the source qemu updates itself and
qemuMigrationWaitForCompletion() notices the failure.
Close the FD for all kinds of errors to be sure. The error message is not
copied for EPIPE so that the destination error is copied instead later.

Reproducible with repeated migrations between Power hosts running in different
subcores-per-core modes.

The existing algorithm assumed that someone was making small, incremental
changes; however, it is possible to change iothreads from 0 (or relatively
small number) to some really large number and the algorithm would possibly
spin its wheels doing unnecessary searches.
So, optimize the algorithm using a bitmap to find available iothread_id's
starting at 1 that aren't already defined by a "<thread id='#'>" and
filling in the iothreadids array with those iothread_id values.
When qemuDomainPinIOThread was added in commit id 'fb562614', a check
for the IOThread capability was not needed since a check for iothreadpids
covered the condition where the support for IOThreads was not present.
The iothreadpids array was only created if qemuProcessDetectIOThreadPIDs
was able to query the monitor for IOThreads. It would only do that if
the QEMU_CAPS_OBJECT_IOTHREAD capability was set.
However, when iothreadids were added in commit id '8d4614a5' and the
check for iothreadpids was replaced by a search through the iothreadids[]
array for the matching iothread_id that left open the possibility that
an iothreadids[] array was defined, but the entries essentially pointed
to elements with only the 'iothread_id' defined leaving the 'thread_id'
value of 0 and eventually the cpumap entry of NULL.
This was because, the original IOThreads commit id '72edaae7' only
checked if IOThreads were defined and if the emulator had the IOThreads
capability, then IOThread objects were added at startup. The "capability
failure" check was only done when a disk was assigned to an IOThread in
qemuCheckIOThreads. This was because the initial implementation had no way
to dynamically add IOThreads, but it was possible to dynamically add a
disk to the domain. So the decision was if the domain supported it, then
add the IOThread objects. Then if a disk with an IOThread defined was
added, it could check the capability and fail to add if not there. This
just meant the 'iothreads' value was essentially ignored.
Eventually commit id 'a27ed6e7' allowed for the dynamic addition and
deletion of IOThread objects. So it was no longer necessary to generate
IOThread objects to dynamically attach a disk to. However, the startup
and disk check code was not modified to reflect this.
This patch will move the capability failure check to when IOThread
objects are being added to the command line. Thus a domain that has
IOThreads defined will not be started if the emulator doesn't support
the capability. This means when qemuCheckIOThreads is called to add
a disk, it's no longer necessary to check the capability. Instead the
code can use the IOThreadFind call to indicate that the IOThread
doesn't exist.
Finally because it could be possible to have a domain running with the
iothreadids[] defined prior to this change if libvirtd is restarted each
having mostly empty elements, qemuProcessDetectIOThreadPIDs will check
if there are niothreadids when the QEMU_CAPS_OBJECT_IOTHREAD capability
check fails and remove the elements and array if it exists.
With these changes in place, it turns out the cputune-numatune test
was failing because the right bit wasn't set in the test. So used the
opportunity to fix that and create a test that would expect to fail
with some sort of iothreads defined and used, but not having the
correct capability.

qemu: Use 'niothreadids' instead of 'iothreads'
Although theoretically both should be the same value, the niothreadids
should be used in favor of iothreads when performing comparisons. This
leaves the iothreads as a purely numeric value to be saved in the config
file. The one exception to the rule is virDomainIOThreadIDDefArrayInit
where the iothreadids are being generated from the iothreads count since
iothreadids were added after initial iothreads support.

Calculation of the extended and logical partition values for the disk

Unlike create options, if the file to be removed is already in the
pool, then the uid/gid will come from the pool. If it's the same as the
currently running process, then just do the unlink/rmdir directly
rather than going through the fork processing unnecessarily

qemu: Add conditions for qemu-kvm use on ppc64
qemu-kvm can be used to run ppc64 guests on ppc64le hosts and vice
versa, since the hardware is actually the same and the endianness
is chosen by the guest kernel.
Up until now, however, libvirt didn't allow the use of qemu-kvm
to run guests if their endianness didn't match the host's.

rpc: libssh2: Fix regression in ssh host key verification
Commit 792f81a40e caused a regression in the libssh2 host key
verification code by changing the variable type of 'i' to unsigned.
Since one of the loops used -1 as a special value if the asking
callback was found the conversion made a subsequent test always fail.
The bug was stealth enough to pass review, compilers and coverity.

qemu: Perform the disk WWN check only on fresh starts
Since we'd disallow migration of a guest that would have possibly
invalid config but still be able to work, relax the WWN check to be
performed only on new starts of the VM.

interface: let netcf pre-filter for active vs. inactive
If a system has a large number of active or active interfaces, it can
be a big waste of time to retrieve and qualify all interfaces if the
caller only wanted one subset. Since netcf has a simple flag for this,
translate the libvirt flag into a netcf flag and let netcf pre-filter.
