Convert libvirtd over to the new RPC handling APIs
This guts the libvirtd daemon, removing all its networking and
RPC handling code. Instead it calls out to the new virServerPtr
APIs for all its RPC & networking work

via the normal internal error reporting APIs. There is no need
to call separate error reporting APIs in RPC code, nor should
code use VIR_WARN/VIR_ERROR for reporting fatal problems anymore.

Ensure sanlock socket is labelled with the VM process label
The libvirt sanlock plugin is intentionally leaking a file
descriptor to QEMU. To enable QEMU to use this FD under
SELinux, it must be labelled correctly. We dont want to use
the svirt_image_t for this, since QEMU must not be allowed
to actually use the FD. So instead we label it with svirt_t
using virSecurityManagerSetProcessFDLabel

* src/qemu/qemu_process.c: label the lock manager plugin
FD with the process label
The virSecurityManagerSetFDLabel method is used to label
file descriptors associated with disk images. There will
shortly be a need to label other file descriptors in a
different way. So the current name is ambiguous. Rename
the method to virSecurityManagerSetImageFDLabel to clarify
its purpose
The patch below returns an appropriate error message if the chain of
nwfilters is found to contain unresolvable variables and therefore

vcpupin: introduce the new libvirt API (virDomainGetVcpupinInfo)
This patch introduces a new libvirt API (virDomainGetVcpupinInfo),
as a counterpart to virDomainPinVcpuFlags.
We can use virDomainGetVcpus API to retrieve CPU affinity information,
but can't use this API against inactive domains (at least in case of KVM),
as it lacks a flags parameter.
The usual thing is to add a new virDomainGetVcpusFlags, but that API name
is already occupied by the counterpart to virDomainGetMaxVcpus, which
has a completely different signature.
The virDomainGetVcpupinInfo is the new API to retrieve CPU affinity
information of active and inactive domains. While the usual convention
is to list an array before its length, this API violates that rule
in order to be more like virDomainGetVcpus (where maxinfo was doing
double-duty as the length of two different arrays).

Move load of AppArmor profile to GenLabel()
Commit 12317957ecd6c37a2fb16275dcdeeacfe25c517 introduced an incompatible
architectural change for the AppArmor security driver. Specifically,
virSecurityManagerSetAllLabel() is now called much later in
src/qemu/qemu_process.c:qemuProcessStart(). Previously, SetAllLabel() was
called immediately after GenLabel() such that after the dynamic label (profile
name) was generated, SetAllLabel() would be called to create and load the
AppArmor profile into the kernel before qemuProcessHook() was executed. With 12317957ecd6c37a2fb16275dcdeeacfe25c517, qemuProcessHook() is now called
before SetAllLabel(), such that aa_change_profile() ends up being called
before the AppArmor profile is loaded into the kernel (via ProcessLabel() in
qemuProcessHook()).
This patch addresses the change by making GenLabel() load the AppArmor
profile into the kernel after the label (profile name) is generated.
SetAllLabel() is then adjusted to only reload_profile() and append stdin_fn to
the profile when it is specified. This also makes the AppArmor driver work
like its SELinux counterpart with regard to SetAllLabel() and stdin_fn.

Avoid high privileges taint warning for QEMU session driver
The code emitting taint warnings was mistakenly thinking
that guests run from the QEMU session driver were tainted
for having high privileges. This is of course nonsense
since the session driver is always unprivileged
* src/qemu/qemu_domain.c: Don't warn for high privileges in
non-privileged QEMU
Allow automatic kill of guests when a connection is closed
If an application is using libvirt + KVM as a piece of its
internal infrastructure to perform a specific task, it can
be desirable to guarentee the VM dies when the virConnectPtr
disconnects from libvirtd. This ensures the app can't leak
any VMs it was using. Adding VIR_DOMAIN_START_AUTOKILL as
a flag when starting guests enables this to be done.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: All VIR_DOMAIN_START_AUTOKILL
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Support automatic killing of guests
upon connection close
* tools/virsh.c: Add --autokill flag to 'start' and 'create'
commands
At step 2, a QEMU process is lauched in the destination to
accept the incoming migration. Occasionally the process
that is controlling the migration workflow aborts, and fails
to call step 4, Finish. This leaves a QEMU process running
on the target (albeit with paused CPUs). Unfortunately because
step 2 actives a job on the QEMU process, it is unkillable by
normal means.
By registering the VM for autokill against the src virConnectPtr
in step 2, we can ensure that the guest is forcefully killed off
if the connection is closed without step 4 being invoked
* src/qemu/qemu_migration.c: Register autokill in PrepareDirect
and PrepareTunnel. Unregister autokill on successful run
of Finish
* src/qemu/qemu_process.c: Unregister autokill when stopping a
process
Add infrastructure to automatically destroy guests when a connection closes
Sometimes it is useful to be able to automatically destroy a guest when
a connection is closed. For example, kill an incoming migration if
the client managing the migration dies. This introduces a map between
guest 'uuid' strings and virConnectPtr objects. When a connection is
closed, any associated guests are killed off.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Add autokill hash table to qemu driver
* src/qemu/qemu_process.c, src/qemu/qemu_process.h: Add APIs
for performing autokill of guests associated with a connection
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Initialize autodestroy map
For controlled shutdown we issue a 'system_powerdown' command
to the QEMU monitor. This triggers an ACPI event which (most)
guest OS wire up to a controlled shutdown. There is no equiv
ACPI event to trigger a controlled reboot. This patch attempts
to fake a reboot.
- In qemuDomainObjPrivatePtr we have a bool fakeReboot
flag.
- The virDomainReboot method sets this flag and then
triggers a normal 'system_powerdown'.
- The QEMU process is started with '-no-shutdown'
so that the guest CPUs pause when it powers off the
guest
- When we receive the 'POWEROFF' event from QEMU JSON
monitor if fakeReboot is not set we invoke the
qemuProcessKill command and shutdown continues
normally
- If fakeReboot was set, we spawn a background thread
which issues 'system_reset' to perform a warm reboot
of the guest hardware. Then it issues 'cont' to
start the CPUs again
* src/qemu/qemu_command.c: Add -no-shutdown flag if
we have JSON support

To facilitate creation of new clients using XDR RPC services,

and decoding to the registered programs
- virNetClientProgram: Handles processing and dispatch
of RPC messages for a single RPC (program,version).
A program can register to receive async events
from a client
- virNetClientStream: Handles generic I/O stream
integration to RPC layer

RPC procedures & events it wants and their handlers. It does
not need to deal with any of the network I/O functionality at
all.

To facilitate creation of new daemons providing XDR RPC services,
pull a lot of the libvirtd daemon code into a set of reusable

* virNetServer: A server contains one or more services which
accept incoming clients. It maintains the list of active
clients. It has a list of RPC programs which can be used
by clients. When clients produce a complete RPC message,
the server passes this onto the corresponding program for
handling, and queues any response back with the client.
* virNetServerClient: Encapsulates a single client connection.
All I/O for the client is handled, reading & writing RPC
messages.
* virNetServerProgram: Handles processing and dispatch of
RPC method calls for a single RPC (program,version).
Multiple programs can be registered with the server.
* virNetServerService: Encapsulates socket(s) listening for
new connections. Each service listens on a single host/port,
but may have multiple sockets if on a dual IPv4/6 host.
Each new daemon now merely has to define the list of RPC procedures
& their handlers. It does not need to deal with any network related
functionality at all.
This extends the basic virNetSocket APIs to allow them to have
a handle to the TLS/SASL session objects, once established.

SASL/TLS encryption
Generic module for handling SASL authentication & encryption
This provides two modules for handling SASL
* virNetSASLContext provides the process-wide state, currently

SASL session itself. This also include APIs for providing
data encryption/decryption once the session is established

message header+payload, as well as a decoded copy of the message
header. There is an API for applying a XDR encoding & decoding
of the message headers and payloads. There are also APIs for
maintaining a simple FIFO queue of message instances.
Expected usage scenarios are:
To send a message
msg = virNetMessageNew()
...fill in msg->header fields..
virNetMessageEncodeHeader(msg)
...loook at msg->header fields to determine payload filter
virNetMessageEncodePayload(msg, xdrfilter, data)
...send msg->bufferLength worth of data from buffer
To receive a message
msg = virNetMessageNew()
...read VIR_NET_MESSAGE_LEN_MAX of data into buffer
virNetMessageDecodeLength(msg)
...read msg->bufferLength-msg->bufferOffset of data into buffer
virNetMessageDecodeHeader(msg)
...look at msg->header fields to determine payload filter
virNetMessageDecodePayload(msg, xdrfilter, data)
...run payload processor
* src/Makefile.am: Add to libvirt-net-rpc.la
* src/rpc/virnetmessage.c, src/rpc/virnetmessage.h: Internal
