    Implement unix domain socket consoles for libvirt
    
    For this change to work for you, you'll need to either disable
    apparmor or alter the libvirt templates to allow access to
    /tmp. You also need to change the value of the
    console_log_type flag to "domain". Console logs are then passed
    from libvirt to nova-compute with a unix domain socket. This
    allows us to implement console log file rotation.
    
    This change also makes the way file system elements are shared
    with libvirt configurable. You can specify a chmod value for
    those elements (the previous implementation), or a group to
    chgrp to which is shared by nova-compute and libvirt. If
    neither option is specified, nova-compute will refuse to start
    if using the libvirt hypervisor driver.
    
    This change also slightly refactors how all console logging in
    libvirt works, but there are no functional changes to "file"
    style logging.
    
    New flags:
        console_log_type
        max_rotated_consoles
    
        libvirt_shared_file_mode
        libvirt_shared_group
        libvirt_shared_noop
    
    DocImpact
    
    SecurityImpact: this should reduce the amount of unbounded
    growth we see in libvirt console log files.
