[libvirt] PATCH: 5/5: Preserve live XML config across restarts

Although the LXC driver can cope with libvirtd restarts, there is one
small problem relating to the XML format. The XML format as stored in
/etc/libvirtd/lxc/NAME.xml is the canonical 'inactive' configuration
data. There are a few pieces of data which are filled in at runtime,
such as the current /dev/pty/XXX path, and vethXXX inteface name.
Previously, the LXC drive would re-write /etc/libvirtd/lxc/NAME.xml
to add in this data, but this is not good practice. Even though we
tell sysadmins not to change this files directly, many people do, and
this obliterates data important to libvirt.
The 'controller' process however knows what the live config data is
since it has a copy of the virDomainDefPtr object from when it was
started up. The controller process stays around even across restarts
of the libvirtd daemon. So this patch updates the handshake between
the libvirtd LXC driver & controller, so that as well as sending
back the PID, it also sends back the live XML configuration. So when
starting up, libvirtd can get back a guarenteed accurate XML doc for
the current live container config.
I'm not entirely happy with this approach though - I'd ideally like
to avoid having communications between the libvirtd & the controller
process if practical, because it forms an ABI we have to preserve
across daemon upgrades. So I'm sort of inclined to change this so
that the 'live' XML config and PID are simply kept on disk in the
paths /var/run/libvirt/lxc/NAME.{xml,pid} alongside the UNIX socket,
and then just keep the UNIX socket connection as a way for getting
notification of container shutdown (via POLLHUP).
