    remote: enable connecting to the per-driver daemons · b18c273a

    Historically URIs handled by the remote driver will always connect to
    the libvirtd UNIX socket. There will now be one daemon per driver, and
    each of these has its own UNIX sockets to connect to.
    
    It will still be possible to run the traditional monolithic libvirtd
    though, which will have the original UNIX socket path.
    
    In addition there is a virproxyd daemon that doesn't run any drivers,
    but provides proxying for clients accessing libvirt over IP sockets, or
    tunnelling to the legacy libvirtd UNIX socket path.
    
    Finally when running inside a daemon, the remote driver must not reject
    connections unconditionally. For example, the QEMU driver needs to be
    able to connect to the network driver. The remote driver must thus be
    willing to handle connections even when inside the daemon, provided no
    local driver is registered.
    
    This refactoring enables the remote driver to be able to connect to the
    per-driver daemons. The URI parameter "mode" accepts the values "auto",
    "direct" and "legacy" to control which daemons are connected to.
    
    The client side libvirt.conf config file also supports a "remote_mode"
    setting which is used if the URI parameter is not set.
    
    If neither the config file or URI parameter set a mode, then "auto"
    is used, whereby the client looks to see which sockets actually exist
    right now.
    
    The remote driver will only ever spawn the per-driver daemons, or
    the legacy libvirtd. It won't ever try to spawn virtproxyd, as
    that is only there for IP based connectivity, or for access from
    legacy remote clients.
    
    If connecting to a remote host over any kind of ssh tunnel, for now we
    must assume only the legacy socket exists. A future patch will introduce
    a netcat replacement that is tailored for libvirt to make remote
    tunnelling easier.
    
    The configure arg '--with-remote-default-mode=legacy|direct' allows
    packagers to set a default at build time. If not given, it will default
    to legacy mode.
    
    Eventually the default will switch to direct mode. Distros can choose
    to do the switch earlier if desired. The main blocker is testing and
    suitable SELinux/AppArmor policies.
