54e99644bf command: shell-quote when logging commands
Without this patch, logged command executions can be ambiguous if
the command contained any shell metacharacters.  This has caused
more than one person to attempt to patch clients to add unnecessary
quoting, without realizing that the command itself was run with
correct args, and only the logged output was ambiguous.

* src/util/command.c (virCommandToString): Add shell escapes.
* tests/commandtest.c (test16): Test new behavior.
* tests/commanddata/test16.log: Update expected output.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-*.args: Likewise.
* tests/networkxml2argvdata/*.argv: Likewise.

858c2476d9 command: avoid deadlock on EPIPE situation
It is possible to deadlock libvirt by having a domain with XML
longer than PIPE_BUF, and by writing a hook script that closes
stdin early.  This is because libvirt was keeping a copy of the
child's stdin read fd open, which means the write fd in the
parent will never see EPIPE (remember, libvirt should always be
run with SIGPIPE ignored, so we should never get a SIGPIPE signal).
Since there is no error, libvirt blocks waiting for a write to
complete, even though the only reader is also libvirt.  The
solution is to ensure that only the child can act as a reader
before the parent does any writes; and then dealing with the
fallout of dealing with EPIPE.

Thankfully, this is not a security hole - since the only way to
trigger the deadlock is to install a custom hook script, anyone
that already has privileges to install a hook script already has
privileges to do any number of other equally disruptive things
to libvirt; it would only be a security hole if an unprivileged
user could install a hook script to DoS a privileged user.

* src/util/command.c (virCommandRun): Close parent's copy of child
read fd earlier.
(virCommandProcessIO): Don't let EPIPE be fatal; the child may
be done parsing input.
* tests/commandhelper.c (main): Set up a SIGPIPE situation.
* tests/commandtest.c (test20): Trigger it.
* tests/commanddata/test20.log: New file.

2b045d39df command: handle empty buffer argument correctly
virBufferContentAndReset (intentionally) returns NULL for a buffer
with no content, but it is feasible to invoke a command with an
explicit empty string.

* src/util/command.c (virCommandAddEnvBuffer): Reject empty string.
(virCommandAddArgBuffer): Allow explicit empty argument.
* tests/commandtest.c (test9): Test it.
* tests/commanddata/test9.log: Adjust.

c0e5994aef freebsd: Avoid /bin/true in commandtest
Rely on PATH and use just true, because on FreeBSD it's /usr/bin/true.

f16ad06fb2 Introduce new APIs for spawning processes
This introduces a new set of APIs in src/util/command.h
to use for invoking commands. This is intended to replace
all current usage of virRun and virExec variants, with a
more flexible and less error prone API.

* src/util/command.c: New file.
* src/util/command.h: New header.
* src/Makefile.am (UTIL_SOURCES): Build it.
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export symbols internally.
* tests/commandtest.c: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (check_PROGRAMS): Run it.
* tests/commandhelper.c: Auxiliary program.
* tests/commanddata/test2.log - test15.log: New expected outputs.
* cfg.mk (useless_free_options): Add virCommandFree.
(msg_gen_function): Add virCommandError.
* po/POTFILES.in: New translation.
* .x-sc_avoid_write: Add exemption.
* tests/.gitignore: Ignore new built file.
