There might be some use cases, where user wants to prepare the host or
its environment prior to starting a network and do some cleanup after
the network has been shut down. Consider all the functionality that
libvirt doesn't currently have as an example what a hook script can
possibly do.

The rule generating the HTML docs passing the --html flag
to xsltproc. This makes it use the legacy HTML parser, which
either ignores or tries to fix all sorts of broken XML tags.
There's no reason why we should be writing broken XML in
the first place, so removing --html and adding the XHTML
doctype to all files forces us to create good XML.
This adds the XHTML doc type and fixes many, many XML tag
problems it exposes.

A core use case of the hook scripts is to be able to do things
to a guest's network configuration. It is possible to hook into
the 'start' operation for a QEMU guest which runs just before
the guest is started. The TAP devices will exist at this point,
but the QEMU process will not. It can be desirable to have a
'started' hook too, which runs once QEMU has started.
If libvirtd is restarted it will re-populate firewall rules,
but there is no QEMU hook to trigger for existing domains.
This is solved with a 'reconnect' hook.
Finally, if attaching to an external QEMU process there needs
to be an 'attach' hook script.
This all also applies to the LXC driver
* docs/hooks.html.in: Document new operations
* src/util/hooks.c, src/util/hooks.c: Add 'started', 'reconnect'
and 'attach' operations for QEMU. Add 'prepare', 'started',
'release' and 'reconnect' operations for LXC
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c: Add hooks for 'prepare', 'started',
'release' and 'reconnect' operations
