qemu: unescape HMP commands before converting them to json
QMP commands don't need to be escaped since converting them to json
also escapes special characters. When a QMP command fails, however,
libvirt falls back to HMP commands. These fallback functions
(qemuMonitorText*) do their own escaping, and pass the result directly
to qemuMonitorHMPCommandWithFd. If the monitor is in json mode, these
pre-escaped commands will be escaped again when converted to json,
which can result in the wrong arguments being sent.
For example, a filename test\file would be sent in json as
test\\file.
This prevented attaching an image file with a " or \ in its name in
qemu 1.0.50, and also broke rbd attachment (which uses backslashes to
escape some internal arguments.)

qemu: Add ability to abort existing console while creating new one
This patch fixes console corruption, that happens if two concurrent
sessions are opened for a single console on a domain. Result of this
corruption was that each of the console streams recieved just a part

New helper function for safe console handling is used to establish the
console stream connection. This function ensures that no other libvirt

libvirt clients) and that no UUCP style lockfile is placed on the PTY
device.

util: Add helpers for safe domain console operations
This patch adds a set of functions used in creating console streams for
domains using PTYs and ensures mutually exclusive access to the PTYs.
If mutually exclusive access is not used, two clients may open the same
console, which results in corruption on both clients as both of them
race to read data from the PTY.
Two approaches are used to ensure this:
1) Internal data structure holding open PTYs.
This is used internally and enables the user to forcibly
terminate another console connection eg. when somebody leaves
the console open on another host.
2) UUCP style lock files:
This uses UUCP lock files according to the FHS
( http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#VARLOCKLOCKFILES )
to check if other programs (like minicom) are not using the pty
device of the console.
This feature is disabled by default and may be enabled using
configure parameter
--with-console-lock-files=/path/to/lock/file/directory
or --with-console-lock-files=auto (which tries to infer the
location from OS used (currently only linux).
On usual linux systems, normal users may not write to the
/var/lock directory containing the locks. This poses problems
while in session mode. If the current user has no access to the
lockfile directory, check for presence of the file is still
done, but no lock file is created. This does NOT result in an
error.

qemu: increase the timeout before sending SIGKILL to qemu process
The current default method of terminating the qemu process is to send
a SIGTERM, wait for up to 1.6 seconds for it to cleanly shutdown, then
send a SIGKILL and wait for up to 1.4 seconds more for the process to
terminate. This is problematic because occasionally 1.6 seconds is not
long enough for the qemu process to flush its disk buffers, so the
guest's disk ends up in an inconsistent state.
Since this only occasionally happens when the timeout prior to SIGKILL
is 1.6 seconds, this patch increases that timeout to 10 seconds. At
the very least, this should reduce the occurrence from "occasionally"
to "extremely rarely". (Once SIGKILL is sent, it waits another 5
seconds for the process to die before returning).
Note that in the cases where it takes less than this for qemu to
shutdown cleanly, libvirt will *not* wait for any longer than it would
without this patch - qemuProcessKill polls the process and returns as
soon as it is gone.
Aside from rebasing, this patch only drops the driver lock once (prior
to the first time the function sleeps), then leaves it dropped until
it returns (Eric's patch would drop and re-acquire the lock around
each call to sleep).
At the time Eric sent his patch, the response (from Dan Berrange) was
that, while it wasn't a good thing to be holding the driver lock while
sleeping, we really need to rethink locking wrt the driver object,
switching to a finer-grained approach that locks individual items
within the driver object separately to allow for greater concurrency.
This is a good plan, and at the time it made sense to not apply the
patch because there was no known bug related to the driver lock being
held in this function.
However, we now know that the length of the wait in qemuProcessKill is
sometimes too short to allow the qemu process to fully flush its disk
cache before SIGKILL is sent, so we need to lengthen the timeout (in
order to improve the situation with management applications until they
can be updated to use the new VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL flag added
in commit 72f8a7f19753506ed957b78ad800c0f3892c9304). But, if we
lengthen the timeout, we also lengthen the amount of time that all
other threads in libvirtd are essentially blocked from doing anything
(since just about everything needs to acquire the driver lock, if only
for long enough to get a pointer to a domain).
The solution is to modify qemuProcessKill to drop the driver lock
while sleeping, as proposed in Eric's patch. Then we can increase the
timeout with a clear conscience, and thus at least lower the chances
that someone running with existing management software will suffer the
consequence's of qemu's disk cache not being flushed.
In the meantime, we still should work on Dan's proposal to make
locking within the driver object more fine grained.
(NB: although I couldn't find any instance where qemuProcessKill() was
called with no jobs active for the domain (or some other guarantee
that the current thread had at least one refcount on the domain
object), this patch still follows Eric's method of temporarily adding
a ref prior to unlocking the domain object, because I couldn't
convince myself 100% that this was the case.)

In case the caller specifies that confined guests are required but the
security driver turns out to be 'none', we should return an error since
this driver clearly cannot meet that requirement. As a result of this
error, libvirtd fails to start when the host admin explicitly sets
confined guests are required but there is no security driver available.
Since security driver 'none' cannot create confined guests, we override
default confined setting so that hypervisor drivers do not thing they
should create confined guests.

seclabel: Do not output relabel attribute for type 'none'
Security label type 'none' requires relabel to be set to 'no' so there's
no reason to output this extra attribute. Moreover, since relabel is
internally stored in a negative from (norelabel), the default value for
relabel would be 'yes' in case there is no <seclabel> element in domain
configuration. In case VIR_DOMAIN_SECLABEL_DEFAULT turns into
VIR_DOMAIN_SECLABEL_NONE, we would incorrectly output relabel='yes' for
seclabel type 'none'.

qemu: Always use iohelper for dumping domain core
Qemu uses non-blocking I/O which doesn't play nice with regular file
descriptors. We need to pass a pipe to qemu instead, which can easily be
done using iohelper.

util: Generalize virFileDirectFd
virFileDirectFd was used for accessing files opened with O_DIRECT using
libvirt_iohelper. We will want to use the helper for accessing files
regardless on O_DIRECT and thus virFileDirectFd was generalized and
renamed to virFileWrapperFd.

virsh: Do not check the input XML at virsh layer for cmdDetachDevice
Any device XML doesn't use the same order as libvirt generates, or
uses decimal for attributes like "slot" of "<address>" will cause
device detaching to fail, as virsh compares the XML simply earlier
in strict manner before internal parsing.

On systems with dmidecode version 2.10 or older,
dmidecode displays processor information, followed by BIOS, system and
memory-DIMM details.
Calls to virSysinfoParseBIOS(), virSysinfoParseSystem() would update
the buffer pointer 'base', so the processor information would be lost
before virSysinfoParseProcessor() was called. Sysinfo would therefore
not be able to display processor details -- It only described <bios>,
<system> and <memory_device> details.
This patch attempts to insulate sysinfo from ordering of dmidecode
output.
Before the fix:
---------------
virsh # sysinfo
<sysinfo type='smbios'>
<bios>
....
</bios>
<system>
....
</system>
<memory_device>
....
</memory_device>

storage: Don't unsparsify images when cloning
Input to the volume cloning code is a source volume and an XML
descriptor for the new volume. It is possible for the new volume
to have a greater size than source volume, at which point libvirt
will just stick 0s on the end of the new image (for raw format
anyways).
Unfortunately a logic error messed up our tracking of the of the
excess amount that needed to be written: end result is that sparse
clones were made very much non-sparse, and cloning regular disk
images could end up excessively sized (though data unaltered).
Drop the 'remain' variable entriely here since it's redundant, and
track actual allocation directly against the desired 'total'.
The specfile requires avahi during install if libvirt was built with
avahi support, but there are many situations where it is undesirable
to install avahi due to security concerns. This patch requires only
the avahi-libs package, which is needed by libvirt to call the
function that tries to attach to the avahi daemon, but will instead
silently fail because the avahi-daemon is in the main avahi package,
and that package isn't installed.

Allow polkit auth for VNC and SSH users
If you are sitting in front of a physical machine and logged in as
a regular user, you can connect to the system libvirtd instance
by providing a root password to policykit. This is how most
virt-manager users talk to libvirt.
However, if you are launching virt-manager over ssh -X, or over
VNC started from say /etc/sysconfig/vncservers, our policykit policy
rejects the user outright, providing no option to provide the root
password. This is confusing to users and doesn't seem to serve much
point.
Change the policy to allow inactive (VNC) and non-local (SSH, VNC)
to provide root credentials for accessing system libvirtd. We use
auth_admin rather than auth_admin_keep so that credentials aren't
cached at all, and every subsequent reconnection to libvirt requires
auth.

As we already link with libvirt.la which contains libvirt_utils.la.
Double linking causes global symbols to be presented twice and
