.Fine-grained configuration of VM actions on host shutdown

With this update, it is possible to configure the `libvirt` drivers on how to handle virtual machines (VMs) when the host shuts down. For example, you can configure the VM memory to be saved when the host shuts down, and for VMs to be automatically started from the saved memory when the host starts. For the specific configuration options, see the `auto_shutdown` parameters in the `/etc/libvirt/virtqemud.conf` file.

Note that this feature implements the same functionality provided by the `libvirt-guests` service, as configured in the `/etc/sysconfig/libvirt-guests` file. As a consequence, you cannot use `auto_shutdown` configuration in `virtqemud.conf` at the same time as `libvirt-guests.service`.

For new deployments, using `auto_shutdown` in `virtqemud.conf` is recommended instead of `libvirt-guests.service`, and it will replace `libvirt-guests.service` completely in a future major release of RHEL.
