Libvirt XML generation config APIs

Registered by Daniel Berrange

This replaces the current Cheetah template approach for generating XML documents, with a formal configuration object model & API which is capable of serializing itself to XML & deserializing itself from XML. The result will ensure correct XML escaping, centralize the logic for generating XML improving maintainence and mean no libvirt driver code needs to know about the XML documents directly.
