[libvirt] [libvirt RFC PATCH 00/10] Add support for qemu's JSON pseudo'protocol for backing store

Libvirt didn't handle this for a long time and VMs with such config would not start we should implement it. Using JSON is basically the only option to specify advanced configuration for a backing file. Field names were taken from qemu's source since there isn't really documentation for this. CCing qemu-block for possible comments on patches 2-8,10.
