+ qemu: Add virtiofs support

+ <description>
+ This feature, introduced in QEMU 4.2, is a more modern alternative

+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ After renewing TLS certificates, it was usually necessary to restart
+ libvirtd for the new ones to be loaded: now the same result can be
+ obtained without restarting the daemon by using <code>virt-admin
+ server-update-tls</code>.

+ qemu: Don't compare local and remote hostnames on migration
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ This check was introduced to prevent same-host migration, but did
+ not work as expected when multiple libvirtd instances were running
+ on the same host but in different containers. With this release, the
+ host UUID (which should be unique to the container) is checked

+ qemu: Use per-VM event loops
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ Instead of using a single even loop to process communication with
+ the QEMU monitor and guest agent, create a separate one for each VM.
+ This helps with scalability and prevents scenarios where a single
+ malfunctioning VM could affect all those running on the same host.
