[zz]libvirt - Progress monitoring & cancellation of jobs

This series introduces 2 new APIs to allow long running jobs to
be monitored and cancelled. This applies to virDomainMigrate,
virDomainSave, virDomainRestore and virDomainCoreDump at least.
The implementation is provided for QEMU only, any others that
are able to implementation can do so as desired.

Usefulness of these new APIs requires use of multiple threads on
a single connection, or multiple connections, since the main
API calls are still all fully blocking. Instead a parallel thread
or process can monitor. This can be seen with virsh

In termainl 1

 $ virsh save demo demo.img

In terminal 2

 $ ./virsh domjobinfo demo

The new virDomainAbortJob() method provides a way for a second
thread to abort an ongoing job run by another thread. This
extends to any API with  which the virDomainGetJobInfo() API
is intended to work. Cancellation is not guarenteed, rather best
effort on part of the hypervisor and not required to be implmented.

Introduce support for  virDomainGetJobInfo in the QEMU driver. This
allows for monitoring of any API that uses the 'info migrate' monitor
command. ie virDomainMigrate, virDomainSave and virDomainCoreDump

Unfortunately QEMU does not provide a way to monitor incoming migration
so we can't wire up virDomainRestore yet.

The virsh tool gets a new command 'domjobinfo' to query status
