As usual, a lot of changes have made it to master without the release
notes being updated at the same time.
I'll push this tomorrow in the morning, so that it can make it into
the release, unless it gets (N)ACKed earlier.

+ qemu: Support multiqueue for virtio-blk
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ Multiqueue support for <code>virtio-blk</code> has been available
+ in QEMU ever since 2.7.0, and now libvirt guests can enable it.

+ Add virDomainSetLifecycleAction() API
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ This new API, also exposed through the
+ <code>set-lifecycle-action</code> <code>virsh</code>
command, allows
+ the user to dynamically control how the guest will react to being
+ powered off, being restarted or crashing.

+ vbox: Implement autoport for RDP

+ <description>
+ libvirt will now obtain the (dynamically allocated) RDP port number

+ qemu: Allow rotation of small logs

+ <description>
+ On a host where tons of unique instances are executed per day, it's
+ quite possible that while each of the single log files are quite
+ small, they will build up to quite a bit of clutter. Removing the
+ constraints that log have to be bigger than 100 KiB before they can
+ be rotated solves the issue.

+ While it's reasonable to turn off client certificate validation,
