Non-shared storage migration of guests which are disk I/O intensive and
have fast local storage may actually never converge if the guest happens
to dirty the disk faster than it can be copied.
This patch introduces a new flag
'VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_SYNCHRONOUS_WRITES' which will instruct
hypervisors to synchronize local I/O writes with the writes to remote
storage used for migration so that the guest can't overwhelm the
migration. This comes at a cost of decreased local I/O performance for
guests which behave well on average.

It's not supported by all qemu versions but it is with those which we

In cases when the destination storage is slower than the normal VM
storage and the VM does intensive I/O to the disk a block copy job may
never converge.
Switching it to synchronous mode will ensure that all writes done by the
guest are propagated to the destination at the cost of slowing down I/O
of the guest to the synchronous speed.
This patch adds the new API flag and implements virsh support.

Whenever virPCIGetNetName() is called, it is either called with
physPortID = NULL, or with it set by the caller calling
virNetDevGetPhysPortID() soon before virPCIGetNetName(). The
physPortID is then used *only* in virPCIGetNetName().
Rather than replicating that same call to virNetDevGetPhysPortID() in
all the callers of virPCIGetNetName(), lets just have all those
callers send the NetDevName whose physPortID they want down to
virPCIGetNetName(), and let virPCIGetNetName() call
virNetDevGetPhysPortID().

Commit 795e9e05c3 (libvirt-7.7.0) refactored the code in virpci.c and
virnetdev.c that gathered lists of the Virtual Functions (VF) of an
SRIOV Physical Function (PF) to simplify the code.
Unfortunately the simplification made the assumption, in the new
function virPCIGetVirtualFunctionsFull(), that a VF's netdev
interface name should only be retrieved if the PF had a valid
phys_port_id. That is an incorrect assumption - only a small handful
of (now previous-generation) Mellanox SRIOV cards actually use
phys_port_id (this is for an odd design where there are multiple
physical network ports on a single PCI address); all other SRIOV cards
(including new Mellanox cards) have a file in sysfs called
phys_port_id, but it can't be read, and so the pfPhysPortID string is
NULL.
The result of this logic error is that virtual networks that are a
pool of VFs to be used for macvtap connections will be unable to
start, giving an errror like this:
VF 0 of SRIOV PF enp130s0f0 couldn't be added to the interface pool because it isn't bound to a network driver - possibly in use elsewhere
This error message is misinformed - the caller of
virNetDevGetVirtualFunctionsFull() only *thinks* that the VF isn't
bound to a network driver because it doesn't see a netdev name for the
VF in the list. But that's only because
virNetDevGetVirtualFunctionsFull() didn't even try to get the names!
We do need a way for virPCIGetVirtualFunctionsFull() to sometimes
retrieve the netdev names and sometimes not. One way of doing that
would be to send down the netdev name of the PF whenever we also want
to know the netdev names of the VFs, but send a NULL when we
don't. This can conveniently be done by just *replacing* pfPhysPortID
in the arglist with pfNetDevName - pfPhysPortID is determined by
simply calling virNetDevGetPhysPortID(pfNetDevName) so we can just
make that call down in virPCIGetVirtualFunctionsFull() (when needed).
This solves the regression introduced by commit 795e9e05c3, and also
nicely sets us up to (in a subsequent commit) move the call to
virNetDevGetPhysPortID() down one layer further to virPCIGetNetName(),
where it really belongs!

The Homebrew package explicitly enables this driver despite us
disabling it by default on macOS, so it must be functional to
at least some extent and certainly can't be causing any build
failures.
Additionally, if the user has explicitly asked for the network
driver to be enabled but libvirtd is disabled for whatever
reason, we should error out instead of silently disabling the
network driver.
