201156ec6e docs: add pages to support Go module package resolution
Currently the libvirt Go modules are accessed by applications using
their github repository URLs. This is undesirable as we don't want
applications to have a direct dependancy on a specific source repo
location. We want to enable applications to use the Go packages via
the libvirt.org namespace.

When you do "go get libvirt.org/libvirt-go", the Go client will do an
HTTPS request to that URL, and parse the HTML content to look for a
<meta> tag which tells it where to the find the GIT repository.

   https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Remote_import_paths

This adds two pages to support this Go module resolution. They are
not linked from anywhere as we don't expect users to actually look
at them. If someone does happen upon them, there's some boilerplate
text to send them off to godoc.org for API documentation.

Since the pages we're adding have a .html extension, we will also
use a small apache config tweak on the server

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^/libvirt-go$ /libvirt-go.html [L]
    RewriteRule ^/libvirt-go-xml$ /libvirt-go-xml.html [L]

d600667278 qemu: introduce a new "virt-qemu-run" program
The previous "QEMU shim" proof of concept was taking an approach of only
caring about initial spawning of the QEMU process. It was then
registered with the libvirtd daemon who took over management of it. The
intent was that later libvirtd would be refactored so that the shim
retained control over the QEMU monitor and libvirt just forwarded APIs
to each shim as needed. This forwarding of APIs would require quite alot
of significant refactoring of libvirtd to achieve.

This impl thus takes a quite different approach, explicitly deciding to
keep the VMs completely separate from those seen & managed by libvirtd.
Instead it uses the new "qemu:///embed" URI scheme to embed the entire
QEMU driver in the shim, running with a custom root directory.

Once the driver is initialization, the shim starts a VM and then waits
to shutdown automatically when QEMU shuts down, or should kill QEMU if
it is terminated itself. This ought to use the AUTO_DESTROY feature but
that is not yet available in embedded mode, so we rely on installing a
few signal handlers to gracefully kill QEMU. This isn't reliable if
we crash of course, but you can restart with the same root dir.

Note this program does not expose any way to manage the QEMU process,
since there's no RPC interface enabled. It merely starts the VM and
cleans up when the guest shuts down at the end. This program is
installed to /usr/bin/virt-qemu-run enabling direct use by end users.
Most use cases will probably want to integrate the concept directly
into their respective application codebases. This standalone binary
serves as a nice demo though, and also provides a way to measure
performance of the startup process quite simply.

3e9076e777 secrets: add support for running secret driver in embedded mode
This enables support for running the secret driver embedded to the
calling application process using a URI:

   secret:///embed?root=/some/path

When using the embedded mode with a root=/var/tmp/embed, the
driver will use the following paths:

       configDir: /var/tmp/embed/etc/secrets
        stateDir: /var/tmp/embed/run/secrets

These are identical whether the embedded driver is privileged
or unprivileged.

This compares with the system instance which uses

       configDir: /etc/libvirt/secrets
        stateDir: /var/lib/libvirt/secrets

When an embedded instance of the secret driver is open, any other
embedded drivers will automatically use the embedded secret driver.

068efae5b1 qemu: add support for running QEMU driver in embedded mode
This enables support for running QEMU embedded to the calling
application process using a URI:

   qemu:///embed?root=/some/path

Note that it is important to keep the path reasonably short to
avoid risk of hitting the limit on UNIX socket path names
which is 108 characters.

When using the embedded mode with a root=/var/tmp/embed, the
driver will use the following paths:

                logDir: /var/tmp/embed/log/qemu
           swtpmLogDir: /var/tmp/embed/log/swtpm
         configBaseDir: /var/tmp/embed/etc/qemu
              stateDir: /var/tmp/embed/run/qemu
         swtpmStateDir: /var/tmp/embed/run/swtpm
              cacheDir: /var/tmp/embed/cache/qemu
                libDir: /var/tmp/embed/lib/qemu
       swtpmStorageDir: /var/tmp/embed/lib/swtpm
 defaultTLSx509certdir: /var/tmp/embed/etc/pki/qemu

These are identical whether the embedded driver is privileged
or unprivileged.

This compares with the system instance which uses

                logDir: /var/log/libvirt/qemu
           swtpmLogDir: /var/log/swtpm/libvirt/qemu
         configBaseDir: /etc/libvirt/qemu
              stateDir: /run/libvirt/qemu
         swtpmStateDir: /run/libvirt/qemu/swtpm
              cacheDir: /var/cache/libvirt/qemu
                libDir: /var/lib/libvirt/qemu
       swtpmStorageDir: /var/lib/libvirt/swtpm
 defaultTLSx509certdir: /etc/pki/qemu

At this time all features present in the QEMU driver are available when
running in embedded mode, availability matching whether the embedded
driver is privileged or unprivileged.

7b79ee2f78 hostcpu: add support for reporting die_id in NUMA topology
Update the host CPU code to report the die_id in the NUMA topology
capabilities. On systems with multiple dies, this fixes the bug
where CPU cores can't be distinguished:

 <cpus num='12'>
   <cpu id='0' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='0'/>
   <cpu id='1' socket_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='1'/>
   <cpu id='2' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='2'/>
   <cpu id='3' socket_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='3'/>
 </cpus>

Notice how core_id is repeated within the scope of the same socket_id.

It now reports

 <cpus num='12'>
   <cpu id='0' socket_id='0' die_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='0'/>
   <cpu id='1' socket_id='0' die_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='1'/>
   <cpu id='2' socket_id='0' die_id='1' core_id='0' siblings='2'/>
   <cpu id='3' socket_id='0' die_id='1' core_id='1' siblings='3'/>
 </cpus>

So core_id is now unique within a (socket_id, die_id) pair.

fbf27730a3 conf: add support for specifying CPU "dies" parameter
Recently CPU hardware vendors have started to support a new structure
inside the CPU package topology known as a "die". Thus the hierarchy
is now:

  sockets > dies > cores > threads

This adds support for "dies" in the XML parser, with the value
defaulting to 1 if not specified for backwards compatibility.

For example a system with 64 logical CPUs might report

   <topology sockets="4" dies="2" cores="4" threads="2"/>

96999404cb Introducing new address type='unassigned' for PCI hostdevs
This patch introduces a new PCI hostdev address type called
'unassigned'. This new type gives users the option to add
PCI hostdevs to the domain XML in an 'unassigned' state, meaning
that the device exists in the domain, is managed by Libvirt
like any regular PCI hostdev, but the guest does not have
access to it.

This adds extra options for managing PCI device binding
inside Libvirt, for example, making all the managed PCI hostdevs
declared in the domain XML to be detached from the host and bind
to the chosen driver and, at the same time, allowing just a
subset of these devices to be usable by the guest.

Next patch will use this new address type in the QEMU driver to
avoid adding unassigned devices to the QEMU launch command line.

e1b022890e schemas: Introduce disk type NVMe
There is this class of PCI devices that act like disks: NVMe.
Therefore, they are both PCI devices and disks. While we already
have <hostdev/> (and can assign a NVMe device to a domain
successfully) we don't have disk representation. There are three
problems with PCI assignment in case of a NVMe device:

1) domains with <hostdev/> can't be migrated

2) NVMe device is assigned whole, there's no way to assign only a
   namespace

3) Because hypervisors see <hostdev/> they don't put block layer
   on top of it - users don't get all the fancy features like
   snapshots

NVMe namespaces are way of splitting one continuous NVDIMM memory
into smaller ones, effectively creating smaller NVMe-s (which can
then be partitioned, LVMed, etc.)

Because of all of this the following XML was chosen to model a
NVMe device:

  <disk type='nvme' device='disk'>
    <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
    <source type='pci' managed='yes' namespace='1'>
      <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
    </source>
    <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
  </disk>
