Added general definitions for vstorage pool backend including
the build options to add --with-storage-vstorage checking.
In order to use vstorage as a backend for a storage pool
vstorage tools (vstorage and vstorage-mount) need to be installed.

This function will essentially be a wrapper to virStorageVolInfo in order
to provide a mechanism to have the "physical" size of the volume returned
instead of the "allocation" size. This will provide similar capabilities to
the virDomainBlockInfo which can return both allocation and physical of a
domain storage volume.
NB: Since we're reusing the _virStorageVolInfo and not creating a new
_virStorageVolInfoFlags structure, we'll need to generate the rpc APIs
remoteStorageVolGetInfoFlags and remoteDispatchStorageVolGetInfoFlags
(although both were originally created from gendispatch.pl and then
just copied into daemon/remote.c and src/remote/remote_driver.c).
The new API will allow the usage of a VIR_STORAGE_VOL_GET_PHYSICAL flag
and will make the decision to return the physical or allocation value
into the allocation field.
In order to get that physical value, virStorageBackendUpdateVolTargetInfoFD
adds logic to fill in physical value matching logic in qemuStorageLimitsRefresh
used by virDomainBlockInfo when the domain is inactive.

The VIR_STORAGE_POOL_EVENT_REFRESHED constant does not
reflect any change in the lifecycle of the storage pool.
It should thus not be part of the storage pool lifecycle
event set, but rather be a top level event in its own
right. Thus we introduce VIR_STORAGE_POOL_EVENT_ID_REFRESH
to replace it.

Storage pool lifecycle event API entry points for registering and deregistering
storage pool events, as well as types of events associated with storage pools.
These entry points will be used for implementing asynchronous lifecycle events.
Storage pool API:
virConnectStoragePoolEventRegisterAny
virConnectStoragePoolEventDeregisterAny
virStoragePoolEventLifecycleType which has events STARTED, STOPPED, DEFINED,
UNDEFINED, and REFRESHED
Ploop image consists of directory with two files: ploop image itself,
called root.hds and DiskDescriptor.xml that contains information about
ploop device: https://openvz.org/Ploop/format.
Such volume are difficult to manipulate in terms of existing volume types
because they are neither a single files nor a directory.
This patch introduces new volume type - ploop. This volume type is used
by ploop volume's exclusively.

This new algorithm adds support for wiping volumes using TRIM.
It does not overwrite all the data in a volume, but it tells the
backing storage pool/driver that all bytes in a volume can be
discarded.
It depends on the backing storage pool how this is handled.
A SCSI backend might send UNMAP commands to remove all data present
on a LUN.
A Ceph backend might use rbd_discard() to instruct the Ceph cluster
that all data on that RBD volume can be discarded.

Add flags handling to the virStoragePoolCreate and virStoragePoolCreateXML
API's which will allow the caller to provide the capability for the storage
pool create API's to also perform a pool build during creation rather than
requiring the additional buildPool step. This will allow transient pools
to be defined, built, and started.
The new flags are:
* VIR_STORAGE_POOL_CREATE_WITH_BUILD
Perform buildPool without any flags passed.
* VIR_STORAGE_POOL_CREATE_WITH_BUILD_OVERWRITE
Perform buildPool using VIR_STORAGE_POOL_BUILD_OVERWRITE flag.
* VIR_STORAGE_POOL_CREATE_WITH_BUILD_NO_OVERWRITE
Perform buildPool using VIR_STORAGE_POOL_BUILD_NO_OVERWRITE flag.
It is up to the backend to handle the processing of build flags. The
overwrite and no-overwrite flags are mutually exclusive.
NB:
This patch is loosely based upon code originally authored by Osier
Yang that were not reviewed and pushed, see:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-July/msg01328.html
When a RBD volume has snapshots it can not be removed.
This patch introduces a new flag to force volume removal,
VIR_STORAGE_VOL_DELETE_WITH_SNAPSHOTS.
With this flag any existing snapshots will be removed prior to
removing the volume.
No existing mechanism in libvirt allowed us to pass such information,
so that's why a new flag was introduced.

This changes the display from:
libvirt-storage: APIs for management of storages
to
libvirt-storage: APIs for management of storage pools and volumes
In making that change I expected my build tree html output to be
regenerated; however, it wasn't because the dependency for the separated
libvirt-storage.h wasn't there. It was only present for libvirt.h.in
So I added each in the order displayed on the docs/html/index.html page
Create a new libvirt-storage.h file to hold the public
API definitions for the virStorage/Vol type. This header
file is not self-contained, so applications will not directly
include it. They will continue to #include <libvirt/libvirt.h>
