[RFC PATCH 0/6] qapi: net: add unix socket type support to netdev backend

[Laurent Vivier]

"-netdev socket" only supports inet sockets.

It's not a complex task to add support for unix sockets, but
the socket netdev parameters are not defined to manage well unix
socket parameters.

As discussed in:

  "socket.c added support for unix domain socket datagram transport"
  
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/1C0E1BC5-904F-46B0-8044-68E43E67BE60@gmail.com/

This series adds support of unix socket type using SocketAddress QAPI structure.

A new netdev backend "socket-ng" is added, that is barely a copy of "socket"
backend but it uses the SocketAddress QAPI to provide socket parameters.
And then it also implement unix sockets (TCP and UDP).

Some examples of CLI syntax:

  for TCP:

  -netdev 
socket-ng,id=socket0,mode=server,addr.type=inet,addr.host=localhost,addr.port=1234
  -netdev 
socket-ng,id=socket0,mode=client,addr.type=inet,addr.host=localhost,addr.port=1234

  -netdev socket-ng,id=socket0,mode=dgram,\
          local.type=inet,local.host=localhost,local.port=1234,\
          remote.type=inet,remote.host=localhost,remote.port=1235

  for UNIX:

  -netdev socket-ng,id=socket0,mode=server,addr.type=unix,addr.path=/tmp/qemu0
  -netdev socket-ng,id=socket0,mode=client,addr.type=unix,addr.path=/tmp/qemu0

  -netdev socket-ng,id=socket0,mode=dgram,\
          local.type=unix,local.path=/tmp/qemu0,\
          remote.type=unix,remote.path=/tmp/qemu1

  for FD:

  -netdev socket-ng,id=socket0,mode=server,addr.type=fd,addr.str=4
  -netdev socket-ng,id=socket0,mode=client,addr.type=fd,addr.str=5

  -netdev socket-ng,id=socket0,mode=dgram,local.type=fd,addr.str=4
