[PATCH RFC 0/5] storage: Drop the sheepdog storage driver backend

The sheepdog project is abandoned, with last commit in 2018. QEMU
already removed the storage backend in qemu-6.1

This series removes the libvirt storage driver backend.

This series is RFC as of:
1/5: I'm not 100% sure whether 'Obsoletes:' is the correct way to
     deprecate a subpackage in Fedora, but it certainly does the correct
     thing.

4/5: I personally don't mind that the build option will be kept to
     prevent breakage of builds, but I can see the value in dropping it
     and anyone building libvirt having to knowingly acknowledge that
     they don't need sheepdog any more.
     (This patch intentionally omits the S-o-b line as the commit
      message will need to be rewritten if it's going to be pushed)

This series does _not_ remove the ability to use qemu-6.0 and older with
sheepdog as the qemu driver bits are left untouched.

Peter Krempa (5):
  spec: Drop libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-sheepdog package
  tests: Remove storage pool/vol tests for sheepdog
  Remove support for building the sheepdog storage driver backend
  build: Drop the 'storage_sheepdog' build option completely
  storage: Remove the sheepdog storage driver backend source code
