qapi: Introduce add-fd, remove-fd, query-fdsets
This patch adds support that enables passing of file descriptors to the QEMU monitor where they will be stored in specified file descriptor sets. A file descriptor set can be used by a client like libvirt to store file descriptors for the same file. This allows the client to open a file with different access modes (O_RDWR, O_WRONLY, O_RDONLY) and add/remove the passed fds to/from an fd set as needed. This will allow QEMU to (in a later patch in this series) "open" and "reopen" the same file by dup()ing the fd in the fd set that corresponds to the file, where the fd has the matching access mode flag that QEMU requests. The new QMP commands are: add-fd: Add a file descriptor to an fd set remove-fd: Remove a file descriptor from an fd set query-fdsets: Return information describing all fd sets Note: These commands are not compatible with the existing getfd and closefd QMP commands.
