2019-02-26authz: add QAuthZ object as an authorization base classDaniel P. Berrange
The current qemu_acl module provides a simple access control list facility inside QEMU, which is used via a set of monitor commands acl_show, acl_policy, acl_add, acl_remove & acl_reset. Note there is no ability to create ACLs - the network services (eg VNC server) were expected to create ACLs that they want to check. There is also no way to define ACLs on the command line, nor potentially integrate with external authorization systems like polkit, pam, ldap lookup, etc. The QAuthZ object defines a minimal abstract QOM class that can be subclassed for creating different authorization providers.
