Implement a compressed save image format for qemu. While ideally
we would have the choice between compressed/non-compressed
available to the libvirt API, unfortunately there is no "flags"
parameter to the virDomainSave() API. Therefore, implement this
as a qemu.conf option. Both gzip and bzip2 are implemented, and
it should be very easy to implement additional compression
methods.
One open question is if/how we should detect the gzip and bzip2
binaries. One way to do it is to do compile-time setting of the
paths (via configure.in), but that doesn't seem like a great thing
to do. Another solution (my preferred solution) is not to detect
at all; when we go to run the commands that need them, if they
aren't available, or aren't available in one of the standard paths,
then we'll fail. Maybe somebody else has another option or
opinion, though.
In the future, we'll have a more robust (managed) save/restore API,
at which time we can expose this functionality properly in the API.
V2: get rid of redundant dd command and just use >> to append data.
V3: Add back the missing pieces for the enum and bumping the save version.
V4: Make the compressed field in the save_header an int.
Implement LZMA compression.

ACK, this looks good now. Bonus points if you do a follow-up
patch to add the new param to libvirtd_qemu.aug and
test_libvirtd_qemu.aug.
