EOF callback is nice but since we have keepalive, sockets can also be closed
by clients without actually triggering EOF. Should we rather implement a
virNetClientCloseCallback with a parameter that would indicate whether the
socket was closed externally (EOF) or internally (keepalive)? Such callback
could even be visible to apps as a public API so that they are notified about
closed connection even when they have no pending call.
