Add a standard authorization framework

The current network services now support encryption via TLS and in some
cases support authentication via SASL. In cases where SASL is not
available, x509 client certificates can be used as a crude authorization
scheme, but using a sub-CA and controlling who you give certs to. In
general this is not very flexible though, so this series introduces a
new standard authorization framework.

It comes with four initial authorization mechanisms

 - Simple - an exact username match. This is useful when there is
   exactly one user that is known to connect. For example when live
   migrating from one QEMU to another with TLS, libvirt would use
   the simple scheme to whitelist the TLS cert of the source QEMU.

 - List - an full access control list, with optional regex matching.
   This is more flexible and is used to provide 100% backcompat with
   the existing HMP ACL commands. The caveat is that we can't create
   these via the CLI -object arg yet.

 - ListFile - the same as List, but with the rules stored in JSON
   format in an external file. This avoids the -object limitation
   while also allowing the admin to change list entries on the file.
   QEMU uses inotify to notice these changes and auto-reload the
   file contents. This is likely a good default choice for most
   network services, if the "simple" mechanism isn't sufficient.

 - PAM - delegate the username lookup to a PAM module, which opens
   the door to many options including things like SQL/LDAP lookups.
