[libvirt] [PATCH v3] Added new attribute mount_security to filesystem element

This patch introduces new attribute to filesystem element
to support customizable security for mount type.
Valid mount_security are: passthrough and mapped.

Usage:
	<filesystem type='mount' mount_security='passthrough'>
	<source dir='/export/to/guest'/>
	<target dir='mount_tag'/>
	</filesystem>

Here is the detailed explanation on these security models:

Security model: mapped
----------------------

Fileserver intercepts and maps all the file object create requests.
Files on the fileserver will be created with Fileserver's user credentials
and the
client-user's credentials are stored in extended attributes.
During getattr() server extracts the client-user's credentials from extended
attributes and sends to the client.

This adds a great deal of security in the cloud environments where the
guest's(client) user space is kept completely isolated from host's user
space.


Security model : passthrough
----------------------------

In this security model, Fileserver passes down all requests to the
underlying filesystem. File system objects on the fileserver will be created
with client-user's credentials. This is done by setting setuid()/setgid()
during creation or chmod/chown after file creation. At the end of create
protocol
request, files on the fileserver will be owned by cleint-user's uid/gid.
This model mimic's current NFSv3 level of security.

Note: This patch is based on Daniel's patch to support 9pfs.
It shall be applied after applying Daniel's patch to support 9pfs.

v3:
- QEMU cmdline still uses security_model, changes done by mistake reverted.
