This base connection object will be used to simplify the API in various
places, reduce libvirt API calls, and better share code between virtinst
and virt-manager. For now it just centralizes connection opening.
This also exposed various places where our handling for older libvirt
was busted, so raise our minimum host version to 0.6.0, the first
version that supports threaded client requests.
The syntax for static route support is defined by the
new <route> subelement which has the form:
<route family='xx' address='xx' prefix='n' gateway='gg' metric='m'/>
This patch builds on the previous patches for adding IPv6 support and
extending the virtual network support.
The static route support code has been recently added to libvirt and will
be included in libvirt 1.0.6.

The purpose of this update is:
1. replace use of IPy with ipaddr since ipaddr has needed
functionality and IPy does not.
2. Update the glade-3 ui (vmm-host.ui) to provide
for IPv6 as well as IPv4. If either IPv4 or IPv6
is not defined, its respective frame is hidden.
3. The DNS Domain Name is added to the basic frame.
4. IPv4 forwarding is moved to the basic frame and ipv6
forwarding is added.
5. If an IPv4 address is not defined then the IPv4
is set to Isolated network, internal rout only.
6. IPv6 network has three values for Forwarding:
Isolated network, Isolated network with internal forwarding,
and Routed network.
7. Add network definitions to tests/testdriver.xml which
include IPv6 and other new parameters now being handled.
This patch includes the fix for getting a KeyError exception
when deleting a network definition.
In this update, createnet.py has been changed to use
ipaddr but it still only handles IPv4 network creation.

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.
