Re: [PATCH v2 1/6] Introduce OpenSSH authorized key file mgmt APIs

When setting up a new guest or when a management software wants to allow access to an existing guest the virDomainSetUserPassword() API can be used, but that might be not good enough if user want to ssh into the guest. Not only sshd has to be configured to accept password authentication (which is usually not the case for root), user have to type in their password. Using SSH keys is more convenient. Therefore, two new APIs are introduced: virDomainAuthorizedSSHKeysGet() which lists authorized keys for given user, and virDomainAuthorizedSSHKeysSet() which modifies the authorized keys file for given user (append, set or remove keys from the file). It's worth nothing that while authorized_keys file entries have some structure (as defined by sshd(8)), expressing that structure goes beyond libvirt's focus and thus "keys" are nothing but an opaque string to libvirt.
