Add the ability to configure a qemu-vdagent in guest domains. This
device is similar to the spice vdagent channel except that qemu handles
the spice-vdagent protocol messages itself rather than routing them over
a spice protocol channel.
The qemu-vdagent device has two notable configuration options which
determine whether qemu will handle particular vdagent features:
'clipboard' and 'mouse'.
The 'clipboard' option allows qemu to synchronize its internal clipboard
manager with the guest clipboard, which enables client<->guest clipboard
synchronization for non-spice guests such as vnc.
The 'mouse' option allows absolute mouse positioning to be sent over the
vdagent channel rather than using a usb or virtio tablet device.
Sample configuration:
<channel type='qemu-vdagent'>
<target type='virtio' name='com.redhat.spice.0'/>
<source>
<clipboard copypaste='yes'/>
<mouse mode='client'/>
</source>

Docutils-0.17 switched to using <main> instead of a <div
class='document'> and <section> instead of <div class='section'>.
To ensure that our pages still work we need to slightly adapt our XSL
stylesheet to select the <main> tag properly and adapt the CSS to also
select the 'section' element instead of a class and to apply to a <main>
tag with the appropriate names.
Docutils-0.17 also changed to use 'h2' for section heading instead of
'h1'.
Note the styles applied to the 'main' element with certain id can't be
made more universal by just applying to the id itself, as in certain
cases (e.g. 'documentation') we also have sections with that name. This
was previously ensured by also matching the 'document' class which would
make it equal to the 'main' element.

Instead of creating an empty object and then setting keys one
at a time, it is possible to pass a dict object to
configuration_data(). This is nicer because it doesn't require
repeating the name of the cfg_data object over and over.
There is one exception: the 'conf' object, where we store values
that are used directly by C code. In that case, using a dict
object is not feasible for two reasons: first of all, replacing
the set_quoted() calls would result in awkward code with a lot
of calls to format(); moreover, since code that modifies it is
sprinkled all over the place, refactoring it would probably
make things more complicated rather than simpler.

Our last default template had a match of "node()" which incidentally matched
everything, including text nodes. Since this has the same priority according to
the XSLT spec, section 5.5:
https://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xslt-19991116#conflict
this is an error. Also according to the same spec section, the XSLT processor
may signal the error or pick the last rule.
This was uncovered with libxslt 1.1.35 which contains the following commit:
b0074eeca3
which makes the build fail with:
runtime error: file ../docs/page.xsl line 223 element element
xsl:element: The effective name '' is not a valid QName.
because our last rule also matches text nodes and we are trying to extract the
node name out of them.
To fix this we change the match to "*" which only matches elements and not all
the nodes, and to avoid any possible errors with different XSLT processors we
also bump the priority of the match="text()" rule a little higher, just in case
someone needs to use an XSLT processor that chooses signalling the error instead
of the optional recovery.

An update to meson 0.61.1 meant that it started showing warnings due to the fact
that the default for run_command's 'check' parameter is going to change. It
unveiled the fact that we were even missing that parameter in some calls where
we expected different outcome. To make sure the behaviour does not change
specify the parameter explicitly. In places where we check for the return code
the parameter should be 'false' so that meson does not fail. In all other cases
the parameter should be set to 'true' to make sure possible failure also stops
meson.

The burst attribute for bandwidth specifies how much bytes can be
transmitted in a single burst. Therefore, the unit is in
multiples of 1024 (thus kibibytes) not SI-like 1000. It has
always been like that.
The 'tc' output is still confusing though, for instance:
# tc class add dev $DEV parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 1000kbps burst 2097152
# tc class show dev vnet2
class htb 1:1 root rate 8Mbit ceil 8Mbit burst 2Mb cburst 1600b
Please note that 2097152 = 2*1024*1024. Even the man page is
confusing. From tc(8):
kb or k Kilobytes
mb or m Megabytes
But I guess this is because 'tc' predates IEC standardisation of
binary multiples and thus can't change without breaking scripts
parsing its output.
And while at it, adjust _virNetDevBandwidthRate struct member
description, to make it obvious which members use SI/IEC units.
