This patch provides the ability to
tune memroy tunable parameters for the domain.
Also add test cases for --memtune option
and update man page.

Add "-c" as short option of "--connect" for virt-xml.
We could use either
virt-xml -c lxc:///
or
virt-xml --connect lxc:///
This will be more convenient if we operate
non-default hypervisor.

We totally break CLI compat here, but the previous tool wasn't sustainable.
Instead, repurpose the tool as strictly converting external formats
like ovf/vmx to native libvirt XML, and launch the guest.
So we drop vmx/virt-image output, and virt-image input, and a slew of
command line options. I don't think anyone was depending on this in a
scripted fashion, so in practice I don't think anyone will care.
Add much more comprehensive unit tests while we are at it.
Since argparse allows optional arguments, we can back compat handle the
original boolean --sound option. This is nicer than using an option
named --soundhw
Can take name, description, uuid, and title (new). This deprecates the
separate --description and --uuid element, but we won't require it for
specifying a name with virt-install/virt-image since that's quite
overkill. Allowing --name with this option is mostly for the benefit
of virt-xml.
s/-help/--help
Although '-help' could work, but we should not encourage
this, and also should be same as
the output of 'virt-manager -h' command.

And hide docs about old --noacpi/--noacpi options. I don't think
anyone really uses them anyways, but if anyone complains we should
just implement --features for the other CLI commands.
Mention multifunction usage in manual, fix double use of PCI address
and also fix the format of PCI the address described (we parse and use
dot everywhere, but there was a colon on one place in man).
This allows to make use of libvirt network filtering support with virt-install.
With the additional option "filterref" in the --network parameter one can
configure any defined nwfilter per network interface, i.e.:
virt-install ... --network network=mynet,model=virtio,filterref=clean-traffic
(crobinso: add an xmlparse test case)
This is option is supposed to turn off Auto USB redirection feature
rather than USB redirection support. So adding 'auto' make it clearer.
And add its docs to manpage.
The '--default-graphics' option of 'setup.py configure' only affects
virt-manager, but not virt-install. This should be unified, so this
patch checks whether default_graphics taken from the cli is supported
and uses that option.

There was an example for USB controller, but to show all the
sub-options, there was the master= option used without extra
information about the fact that it is used for companion controllers
only. So this patch adds second example in front of the previous one
and re-words the description a little bit.
Kind of a maintenance pain, and it's just poorly duplicating info
from the git logs. We could autogenerate this but I don't really
have the interest in figuring it out. Patches welcome :)
-c maps to --cdrom for virt-install, but for other libvirt tools like
virsh it maps to --connect.
Handle -c and --cdrom a little differently: if -c contains '://',
error out with an explanation. User can work around it by using
--cdrom. This could in theory break some users, but the change they
make will be backwards compatible.
And drop a whole bunch of legacy dbus fallback stuff. Now that we
are bumping the host dependencies to very recent gtk, none of the
back compat should matter.
Sparse logical volumes are supported by libvirt, but only in case the
user takes care of the reallocation, which is not what virt-install
and virt-manager users want. This patch defaults the logical volumes
to non-sparse ones and makes sure allocation is always equal to
capacity for such volumes.

Despite being a known quantity, autotools is so overkill for our needs,
so let's drop it and replace it with a much simpler and easy to customize
system.
