[libvirt] [PATCH v3 00/48] Split the libvirtd daemon into per-driver daemons

This is what all the driver refactoring I've done has been about
enabling.

We gain new daemons for each driver, for the primary virt drivers:

  virtlibxld
  virtlxcd
  virtqemud
  virtvboxd
  virtvzd

And again for the secondary drivers

  virtinterfaced
  virtnetworkd
  virtnodedevd
  virtnwfilterd
  virtsecretd
  virtstoraged

Finally to support IP connectivity, and also the legacy lbivirtd UNIX
domain socket (for the old libvirt remote driver SSH tunnelling):

  virtproxyd

The the sake of facilitating upgrades, the existing libvirtd still
exists and works the same way it always has.

You either run libvirtd, or you run the per-driver daemons, never both.

The remote driver will look to see whether libvirtd is running to figure
out whether to connect to libvirtd or the new per-driver daemons.

When auto-spawning daemons for nonroot users, we default to spawning the
per-driver daemons.

This can be controlled with a UR parameter "?mode=direct|legacy|auto",
where 'direct' means per-driver and 'legacy' means libvirtd (or indirect
via virtproxyd if that's running).

Changed in v3:

 - Add identity forwarding between daemons for polkit auth
 - Make virtxend sockets conditional on Xen kernel
 - Other misc review fixes

Changed in v2:

 - Added systemd unit files for service & sockets, ensuring
   conflicts with libvirtd
 - Fixed proxy to actually handle probing of URIs (still not
   quite perfect)
 - Renamed virtlibxld to virtxend as "xen" is the user facing
   name of the URI
 - Lazy loading of secondary drivers, so connecting to virtqemud
   does't auto-spawn all secondary driver daemons, until a
   relevant API is actually invoked
 - Actually generated config files / augeas files per daemon
 - Abort daemon startup if driver fails to load
 - Many other fixes

A few nice to have things, but not merge blocking

 - MAYBE make it possible to disable build of libvirtd, or of the per-driver
   daemons so downstream vendors can decide which to ship. Alternatively
   they can just not include the binary in the package file list ?
 - Tuning of the daemon defaults for worker threads to better suit
   the fact that we have per-driver daemons
 - More work on RPM packaging to allow install of per-driver daemosn
   without pulling in libvirtd too
