Jonathon Jongsma 1195403c43 schema: add ssh-agent configuration for ssh disks
Add the ability to specify a path to a ssh-agent socket in order to use
the ssh-agent to authenticate to remote ssh disks. Example
configuration:

    <disk type='network'>
        </source protocol='ssh' ...>
            <identity username='myusername' agentsock='/path/to/socket'/>
            ...
        </source>
        ...
    </disk>

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:

https://libvirt.org

Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are
