c54b59ee0d meson: pass more options directly as -D
If an option is not used anywhere by the configure script, it can be just
added to $meson_options even if it is not parsed by the automatically
generated bits in scripts/meson-buildoptions.sh.

The only slightly tricky case is $debug, where the

  if test "$fortify_source" = "yes" ; then
    QEMU_CFLAGS="-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 $QEMU_CFLAGS"
    debug=no
  fi

assignment is dead; configure sets fortify_source=no whenever debug=yes.

119fc611ea meson-buildoptions: add support for string options
Allow using the buildoptions.json file for more options, namely anything
that is not a boolean or multiple-choice.

The mapping between configure and meson is messy for string options,
so allow configure to use to something other than the name in

Meson options such as b_lto or b_coverage.

8821a389b1 configure, meson: replace VSS SDK checks and options with --enable-vss-sdk
The VSS headers are part of standard MS VS SDK, at least since version
15, and probably before that.

They are also included with MinGW, although currently broken.

Let's streamline a bit the options, by not making it so special, and
instead rely on proper system headers configuration or user
--extra-cxxflags. This still requires some extra step to cross-build
with MinGW as described in the meson.build file now.

9e8be4c546 drop libxml2 checks since libxml is not actually used (for parallels)
For a long time, we assumed that libxml2 is necessary for parallels
block format support (block/parallels*). However, this format actually
does not use libxml [*]. Since this is the only user of libxml2 in
whole QEMU tree, we can drop all libxml2 checks and dependencies too.

It is even more: --enable-parallels configure option was the only
option which was silently ignored when it's (fake) dependency
(libxml2) isn't installed.

Drop all mentions of libxml2.

[*] Actually the basis for libxml use were introduced in commit
    ed279a06c5 ("configure: add dependency") but the implementation
    was never merged:

142ca628a7 ui: add a D-Bus display backend
The "dbus" display backend exports the QEMU consoles and other
UI-related interfaces over D-Bus.

By default, the connection is established on the session bus, but you
can specify a different bus with the "addr" option.

The backend takes the "org.qemu" service name, while still allowing
further instances to queue on the same name (so you can lookup all the
available instances too). It accepts any number of clients at this
point, although this is expected to evolve with options to restrict
clients, or only accept p2p via fd passing.

The interface is intentionally very close to the internal QEMU API,
and can be introspected or interacted with busctl/dfeet etc:

$ ./qemu-system-x86_64 -name MyVM -display dbus
$ busctl --user introspect org.qemu /org/qemu/Display1/Console_0

3d212b41e9 nbd/server: Add --selinux-label option
Under SELinux, Unix domain sockets have two labels.  One is on the
disk and can be set with commands such as chcon(1).  There is a
different label stored in memory (called the process label).  This can
only be set by the process creating the socket.  When using SELinux +
SVirt and wanting qemu to be able to connect to a qemu-nbd instance,
you must set both labels correctly first.

For qemu-nbd the options to set the second label are awkward.  You can
create the socket in a wrapper program and then exec into qemu-nbd.
Or you could try something with LD_PRELOAD.

This commit adds the ability to set the label straightforwardly on the
command line, via the new --selinux-label flag.  (The name of the flag
is the same as the equivalent nbdkit option.)

A worked example showing how to use the new option can be found in
this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1984938

smarter to do so as a generic QMP action rather than more one-off

eea9453a01 Move the l2tpv3 test from configure to meson.build
And while we're at it, also provide a proper entry for this feature
in meson_options.txt, so that people who don't need it have a knob
to disable this feature.

3b4da13293 configure: automatically parse command line for meson -D options
Right now meson_options.txt lists about 90 options.  Each option
needs code in configure to parse it and pass the option down to Meson as
a -D command-line argument; in addition the default must be duplicated
between configure and meson_options.txt.  This series tries to remove
the code duplication by generating the case statement for those --enable
and --disable options, as well as the corresponding help text.

About 80% of the options can be handled completely by the new mechanism.
Eight meson options are not of the --enable/--disable kind.  Six more need
to be parsed in configure for various reasons documented in the patch,
but they still have their help automatically generated.

The advantages are:

- less code in configure

- parsing and help is more consistent (for example --enable-blobs was
  not supported)

- options are described entirely in one place, meson_options.txt.
  This make it more attractive to use Meson options instead of
  hand-crafted configure options and config-host.mak

A few options change name: --enable-tcmalloc and --enable-jemalloc
become --enable-malloc={tcmalloc,jemalloc}; --disable-blobs becomes
--disable-install-blobs; --enable-trace-backend becomes
--enable-trace-backends.  However, the old names are allowed
for backwards compatibility.

61d63097be configure: prepare for auto-generated option parsing
Prepare the configure script and Makefile for automatically generated
help and parsing.

Because we need to run the script to generate the full help, we
cannot rely on the user supplying the path to a Python interpreter
with --python; therefore, the introspection output is parsed into
shell functions and stored in scripts/.  The converter is written
in Python as standard for QEMU, and this commit contains a stub.
