We supported autostart of node devices via an xml element, but this
is not consistent with other libvirt objects which use an explicit API
for setting autostart status. So revert this and implement it as an
official API in a future commit.
The initial support was refactored after merging, so this commit reverts
both of those previous commits.
Revert "virNodeDevCapMdevParseXML: Use virXMLPropEnum() for ./start/@type"
This reverts commit 9d4cd1d1cd.
Revert "nodedev: support auto-start property for mdevs"
This reverts commit 42a5585499.

After previous patches we have two structures:
virCapsHostNUMACellDistance and virNumaDistance which express the
same thing. And have the exact same members (modulo their names).
Drop the former in favor of the latter.
This change means that distances with value of 0 are no longer
printed out into capabilities XML, because domain XML code allows
partial distance specification and thus threats value of 0 as
unspecified by user (see virDomainNumaGetNodeDistance() which
returns the default LOCAL/REMOTE distance for value of 0).
Also, from ACPI 6.1 specification, section 5.2.17 System Locality
Distance Information Table (SLIT):
Distance values of 0-9 are reserved and have no meaning.
Thus we shouldn't be ever reporting 0 in neither domain nor
capabilities XML.

The default value hard-coded in QEMU (64KiB) is not always the ideal.
Having a possibility to set the cluster_size by user may in specific
use-cases improve performance for QCOW2 images.
QEMU internally has some limits, the value has to be between 512B and
2048KiB and must by power of two, except when the image has Extended L2
Entries the minimal value has to be 16KiB.
Since qemu-img ensures the value is correct and the limit is not always
the same libvirt will not duplicate any of these checks as the error
message from qemu-img is good enough:
Cluster size must be a power of two between 512 and 2048k

Commit 95f8e3237e which introduced XML schema validation
for snapshot XMLs always asserted the validation for the XML generated
by 'virsh snapshot-create-as' on the basis that it's libvirt-generated,
thus valid.
This unfortunately isn't true as users can influence certain bits of the
XML such as the disk image path which must be a full path. Thus if a
user tries to invoke virsh as:
$ virsh snapshot-create-as upstream --diskspec vda,file=relative.qcow2
error: XML document failed to validate against schema: Unable to validate doc against /path/to/domainsnapshot.rng
Extra element disks in interleave
Element domainsnapshot failed to validate content
They get a rather useless error from the libxml2 RNG validator.
With this fix applied, we get to the XML parser in libvirtd which has a
more reasonable error:
$ virsh snapshot-create-as upstream --diskspec vda,file=relative.qcow2
error: XML error: disk snapshot image path 'relative.qcow2' must be absolute
Instead users can force validation of the XML generated by 'virsh
snapshot-create-as' by passing the '--validate' flag.

Historically, we declared pointer type to our types:
typedef struct _virXXX virXXX;
typedef virXXX *virXXXPtr;
But usefulness of such declaration is questionable, at best.
Unfortunately, we can't drop every such declaration - we have to
carry some over, because they are part of public API (e.g.
virDomainPtr). But for internal types - we can do drop them and
use what every other C project uses 'virXXX *'.

just be simplified to:
