Similarly to what virsh virt-login-shell do, call virAdmInitialize prior to
initializing an event loop and initializing the error handler. Commit 97973ebb7
described and fixed an identical issue for libvirt_lxc.
Since virAdmInitialize becomes a public API after applying this patch,
the symbol is also added to public syms and the doc string of the method is
slightly enhanced analogically to virInitialize.

Finally wire-up virAdmServer{Get,Set}ClientLimits APIs into virt-admin client.
Update the virt-admin's man page accordingly.

Wire-up the public client listing API. Along with this change, a private time
simple conversion method to interpret client's timestamp obtained from server
has been added as well. Format used to for time output is as follows:
YYYY-mm-DD HH:MM:SS+ZZZZ.
Although libvirt exposes methods time-related methods through virtime.h
internally, it utilizes millisecond precision which we don't need in this case,
especially when connection timestamps use precision to seconds only.
This is just a convenience int to string conversion method.
To reflect the new API, man page has been adjusted accordingly.

The man page says: "(Re)-Connect to the hypervisor. When the shell is
first started, this is automatically run with the URI parameter
requested by the "-c" option on the command line." However, if you run:
virsh -c 'test://default' 'connect; uri'
the output will not be 'test://default'. That's because the 'connect'
command does not care about any virsh-only related settings and if it is
run without parameters, it connects with @uri == NULL. Not only that
doesn't comply to what the man page describes, but it also doesn't make
sense. It also means you aren't able to reconnect to whatever you are
connected currently.
So let's fix that in both virsh and virt-admin add a test case for it.

Wire up the server threadpool tunable APIs to virt-admin client. Also, provide
a man page for both commands.

There is a LIBVIRT_ADMIN_DEFAULT_URI environment variable
which is honored by virAdmConnectOpen and documented
in the virt-admin man page.
LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_ADMIN_URI is undocumented and this is its
only occurrence.
There are cases when we don't want to tell the user we are connected.
That's for example when we first connect to the server without the
command 'connect' itself. That helps to clear out output of first
command, mainly when running non-interactively.

Since we introduced listing API earlier in these series, it's time
to wire up the API to the virt-admin client.

Commmit df8192aa introduced admin related rename and some minor
(caused by automated approach, aka sed) and some more severe isues along with
it. First reason to revert is the inconsistency with libvirt library.
Although we deal with the daemon directly rather than with a specific
hypervisor, we still do have a connection. That being said, contributors might
get under the impression that AdmDaemonNew would spawn/start a new daemon
(since it's admin API, why not...), or AdmDaemonClose would do the exact
opposite or they might expect DaemonIsAlive report overall status of the daemon
which definitely isn't the case.
The second reason to revert this patch is renaming virt-admin client. The
client tool does not necessarily have to reflect the names of the API's it's
using in his internals. An example would be 's/vshAdmConnect/vshAdmDaemon'
where noone can be certain of what the latter function really does. The former
is quite expressive about some connection magic it performs, but the latter does
not say anything, especially when vshAdmReconnect and vshAdmDisconnect were
left untouched.
virAdmConnect was named after virConnect, but after some discussions,
most of the APIs called will be working with remote daemon and starting
them virAdmDaemon will make more sense. Only possibly controversal name
is CloseCallback (de)registration, and connecting to the daemon (which
will still be Open/Close), but even this makes sense if one thinks about
the daemon being opened and closed, e.g. as file, etc.
This way all the APIs working with the daemon will start with
virAdmDaemon prefix, they will accept virAdmDaemonPtr as first parameter
and that will better suit with other namings as well (virDomain*,
virAdmServer*, etc.).
Because in virt-admin, the connection name does not refer to a struct
that would have a connect in its name, also adjust 'connname' in
clients. And because it is not used anywhere in the vsh code, move it
from there into each client.

Introduce a new API to get libvirt version. It is worth noting, that
libvirt-admin and libvirt share the same version number. Unfortunately,
our existing API isn't generic enough to be used with virAdmConnectPtr
as well. Also this patch wires up this API to the virt-admin client
as a generic cmdVersion command.
As we need a client disconnect handler, we also need a mechanism to register
such handlers for a client. This patch introduced both the close callbacks and
also the client vshAdmCatchDisconnect handler to be registered with it. By
registering the handler we still need to make sure the client can react to
daemon's events like disconnect or keepalive, so asynchronous I/O event polling
is necessary to be enabled too.
Since most of our APIs rely on an acive functional connection to a daemon and
we have such a mechanism in libvirt already, there's need to have such a way in
libvirt-admin as well. By introducing a new public API, this patch provides
support to check for an active connection.
This patch introduces virt-admin client which is based on virsh client,
but had to reimplement several methods to meet virt-admin specific needs
or remove unnecessary virsh specific logic.
