[Libguestfs] [PATCH 1/4] lib: Remove libguestfs live

This experimental feature allowed you (in theory) to connect to an
existing instance of the libguestfs daemon. (Again, in theory) it
allowed you to attach to running guests. This didn't work well in
practice. If you want to do this, install qemu-guest-agent inside
your guest instead.
This was never supported in RHEL.
The daemon tests relied on this connection method to perform tests on
a bare daemon, so this removes those tests. They were not especially
valuable.

-=head2 ATTACHING TO RUNNING DAEMONS
-
-I<Note (1):> This is B<highly experimental> and has a tendency to eat
-babies. Use with caution.
-
-I<Note (2):> This section explains how to attach to a running daemon
-from a low level perspective. For most users, simply using virt tools
-such as L<guestfish(1)> with the I<--live> option will "just work".
-
-=head3 Using guestfs_set_backend
-
-By calling L</guestfs_set_backend> you can change how the library
-connects to the C<guestfsd> daemon in L</guestfs_launch> (read
-L<guestfs-internals(1)/ARCHITECTURE> for some background).
-
-The normal backend is C<direct>, where a small appliance is created
-containing the daemon, and then the library connects to this.
-C<libvirt> or C<libvirt:I<URI>> are alternatives that use libvirt to
-start the appliance.
-
-Setting the backend to C<unix:I<path>> (where I<path> is the path of a
-Unix domain socket) causes L</guestfs_launch> to connect to an
-existing daemon over the Unix domain socket.
-
-The normal use for this is to connect to a running virtual machine
-that contains a C<guestfsd> daemon, and send commands so you can read
-and write files inside the live virtual machine.
-
-=head3 Using guestfs_add_domain with live flag
-
-L</guestfs_add_domain> provides some help for getting the correct
-backend. If you pass the C<live> option to this function, then (if
-the virtual machine is running) it will examine the libvirt XML
-looking for a virtio-serial channel to connect to:
-
- <domain>
- ...
- <devices>
- ...
- <channel type='unix'>
- <source mode='bind' path='/path/to/socket'/>
- <target type='virtio' name='org.libguestfs.channel.0'/>
- </channel>
- ...
- </devices>
- </domain>
-
-L</guestfs_add_domain> extracts F</path/to/socket> and sets the
-backend to C<unix:/path/to/socket>.
-
-Some of the libguestfs tools (including guestfish) support a I<--live>
-option which is passed through to L</guestfs_add_domain> thus allowing
-you to attach to and modify live virtual machines.
-
-The virtual machine needs to have been set up beforehand so that it
-has the virtio-serial channel and so that guestfsd is running inside
-it.
