Eric Blake a218c81da2 API: add VIR_TYPED_PARAM_STRING
This allows strings to be transported between client and server
in the context of name-type-value virTypedParameter functions.
For compatibility,

    o new clients will not send strings to old servers, based on
      a feature check
    o new servers will not send strings to old clients without the
      flag VIR_TYPED_PARAM_STRING_OKAY; this will be enforced at
      the RPC layer in the next patch, so that drivers need not
      worry about it in general.  The one exception is that
      virDomainGetSchedulerParameters lacks a flags argument, so
      it must not return a string; drivers that forward that
      function on to virDomainGetSchedulerParametersFlags will
      have to pay attention to the flag.
    o the flag VIR_TYPED_PARAM_STRING_OKAY is set automatically,
      based on a feature check (so far, no driver implements it),
      so clients do not have to worry about it

Future patches can then enable the feature on a per-driver basis.

This patch also ensures that drivers can blindly strdup() field
names (previously, a malicious client could stuff 80 non-NUL bytes
into field and cause a read overrun).

* src/libvirt_internal.h (VIR_DRV_FEATURE_TYPED_PARAM_STRING): New
driver feature.
* src/libvirt.c (virTypedParameterValidateSet)
(virTypedParameterSanitizeGet): New helper functions.
(virDomainSetMemoryParameters, virDomainSetBlkioParameters)
(virDomainSetSchedulerParameters)
(virDomainSetSchedulerParametersFlags)
(virDomainGetMemoryParameters, virDomainGetBlkioParameters)
(virDomainGetSchedulerParameters)
(virDomainGetSchedulerParametersFlags, virDomainBlockStatsFlags):
Use them.
* src/util/util.h (virTypedParameterArrayClear): New helper
function.
* src/util/util.c (virTypedParameterArrayClear): Implement it.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (util.h): Export it.
Based on an initial patch by Hu Tao, with feedback from
Daniel P. Berrange.
