[libvirt] [PATCH v4 1/7] bandwidth: Define schema and create documentation

Define new 'bandwidth' element with possible child element 'inbound'
and 'outbound' addressing incoming and outgoing traffic respectively:
<bandwidth>
<inbound average='1000' peak='2000' burst='5120'/>
<outbound average='500'/>
</bandwidth>
Leaving any element out means not to shape traffic in that
direction.
The units for average and peak (rate) are in kilobytes per second,
for burst (size) are just in kilobytes.
This element can be inserted into domain's 'interface' and
'network'.

+ This part of interface XML provides setting quality of service. Incoming

+ <code>bandwidth</code> element can have at most one <code>inbound</code>
+ and at most one <code>outbound</code> child elements. Leaving any of these
+ children element out result in no QoS applied on that traffic direction.
+ So, when you want to shape only domain's incoming traffic, use
+ <code>inbound</code> only, and vice versa. Each of these elements have one
+ mandatory attribute <code>average</code>. It specifies average bit rate on
+ interface being shaped. Then there are two optional attributes:
+ <code>peak</code>, which specifies maximum rate at which interface can send
+ data, and <code>burst</code>, amount of bytes that can be burst at
+ <code>peak</code> speed. Accepted values for attributes are integer
+ numbers. The units for <code>average</code> and <code>peak</code> attributes
+ are kilobytes per second, and for the <code>burst</code> just kilobytes.
