RH-Commit: [1/1] f5c0af772cbd3ced12a7b260f86f98e74d8345d1 (peterx/qemu-kvm)

Libvirt may still use pipes for old file migrations in fd: URI form,
especially when loading old images dumped from Libvirt's compression
algorithms.

In that case, Libvirt needs to compress / uncompress the images on its own
over the migration binary stream, and pipes are passed over to QEMU for
outgoing / incoming migrations in "fd:" URIs.

For future such use case, it should be suggested to use mapped-ram when
saving such VM image.  However there can still be old images that was
compressed in such way, so libvirt needs to be able to load those images,
uncompress them and use the same pipe mechanism to pass that over to QEMU.

It means, even if new file migrations can be gradually moved over to
mapped-ram (after Libvirt start supporting it), Libvirt still needs the
uncompressor for the old images to be able to load like before.

Meanwhile since Libvirt currently exposes the compression capability to
guest images, it may needs its own lifecycle management to move that over
to mapped-ram, maybe can be done after mapped-ram saved the image, however
Dan and PeterK raised concern on temporary double disk space consumption.
I suppose for now the easiest is to enable pipes for both sides of "fd:"
migrations, until all things figured out from Libvirt side on how to move
on.

And for "channels" QMP interface support on "migrate" / "migrate-incoming"
commands, we'll also need to move away from pipe.  But let's leave that for
later too.

So far, still allow pipes to happen like before on both save/load sides,
just like we would allow sockets to pass.
