bfe9f25b49 docs: move docs about remote driver URIs into URI docs
The docs about remote URIs in uri.html are somewhat sparse with the full
docs being in remote.html. Move all the URI content from remote.html
into uri.html so the user only needs to look in one place for URI info.

a8ea89d258 xen: encourage use of xen:///system URI as preferred format
Historically we have used a bare xen:/// URI for connecting to the
legacy Xen driver. The new libxl Xen driver follows the new practice
of allowing '/system' as a path, as well as bare '/' for compat with
the old Xen driver.

This documents xen:///system as the preferred format for Xen, leaving
xen:/// as an undocumented feature just for back-compat.

b1c81567c7 docs: switch to using HTML5 doctype declaration
The HTML5 doctype is simply

  <!DOCTYPE html>

no DTD is present because HTML5 is no longer defined as an
extension of SGML.

XSL has no way to natively output a doctype without a public
or system identifier, so we have to use an <xsl:text> hack
instead.

4e42ff6b7e docs: switch to using 'id' attribute instead of 'name' for links
The 'name' attribute on <a...> elements is deprecated in favour
of the 'id' attribute which is allowed on any element. HTML5
drops 'name' support entirely.

af1b89d1d4 docs: Correct invalid hyperlinks
Since libvirt.h was split into multiple files and similarly
docs/libvirt-libvirt.html, docs/hvsupport.html have bad hyperlinks.  The
same happens for all the html.in files that used <code class='docref'>
tag, because page.xsl has no idea where to point the link that's found.

f2f9742d4d Fix multiple formatting problems in HTML docs
The rule generating the HTML docs passing the --html flag
to xsltproc. This makes it use the legacy HTML parser, which
either ignores or tries to fix all sorts of broken XML tags.
There's no reason why we should be writing broken XML in
the first place, so removing --html and adding the XHTML
doctype to all files forces us to create good XML.

This adds the XHTML doc type and fixes many, many XML tag
problems it exposes.

c86f53d5b2 docs: Fix location of libvirt.conf and auth.conf
For a unprivileged user libvirt.conf and auth.conf are looked up in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME but the docs incorrectly state that it's $XDG_CONFIG_DIR.

32a9aac2e0 Use XDG Base Directories instead of storing in home directory
As defined in:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

This offers a number of advantages:
 * Allows sharing a home directory between different machines, or
sessions (eg. using NFS)
 * Cleanly separates cache, runtime (eg. sockets), or app data from
user settings
 * Supports performing smart or selective migration of settings
between different OS versions
 * Supports reseting settings without breaking things
 * Makes it possible to clear cache data to make room when the disk
is filling up
 * Allows us to write a robust and efficient backup solution
 * Allows an admin flexibility to change where data and settings are stored
 * Dramatically reduces the complexity and incoherence of the
system for administrators

e457d5ef20 Allow overriding default URI in config file
Currently if the URI passed to virConnectOpen* is NULL, then we

 - Look for LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI env var
 - Probe for drivers

This changes it so that

 - Look for LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI env var
 - Look for 'uri_default' in $HOME/.libvirt/libvirt.conf
 - Probe for drivers

777ffbd0e2 Allow for URI aliases when connecting to libvirt
This adds support for a libvirt client configuration file
either /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf for privileged clients,
or $HOME/.libvirt/libvirt.conf for unprivileged clients.

It allows one parameter

 uri_aliases = [
   "hail=qemu+ssh://root@hail.cloud.example.com/system",
   "sleet=qemu+ssh://root@sleet.cloud.example.com/system",
 ]

Any call to virConnectOpen with a non-NULL URI will first
attempt to match against the uri_aliases list. An application
can disable this by using VIR_CONNECT_NO_ALIASES

* docs/uri.html.in: Document URI aliases
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Add VIR_CONNECT_NO_ALIASES
* libvirt.spec.in, mingw32-libvirt.spec.in: Add /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf
* src/Makefile.am: Install default config file
* src/libvirt.c: Add support for URI aliases
* src/remote/remote_driver.c: Don't try to handle URIs
  with no scheme and which clearly are not paths
* src/util/conf.c: Don't raise error on virConfFree(NULL)
* src/xen/xen_driver.c: Don't raise error on URIs
  with no scheme
