Introduce a new QCryptoSecret object class which will be used
for providing passwords and keys to other objects which need
sensitive credentials.
The new object can provide secret values directly as properties,
or indirectly via a file. The latter includes support for file
descriptor passing syntax on UNIX platforms. Ordinarily passing
secret values directly as properties is insecure, since they
are visible in process listings, or in log files showing the
CLI args / QMP commands. It is possible to use AES-256-CBC to
encrypt the secret values though, in which case all that is
visible is the ciphertext. For ad hoc developer testing though,
it is fine to provide the secrets directly without encryption
so this is not explicitly forbidden.
The anticipated scenario is that libvirtd will create a random
master key per QEMU instance (eg /var/run/libvirt/qemu/$VMNAME.key)
and will use that key to encrypt all passwords it provides to
QEMU via '-object secret,....'. This avoids the need for libvirt
(or other mgmt apps) to worry about file descriptor passing.
It also makes life easier for people who are scripting the
management of QEMU, for whom FD passing is significantly more
complex.
Providing data inline (insecure, only for ad hoc dev testing)
$QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,data=letmein
Providing data indirectly in raw format
printf "letmein" > mypasswd.txt
$QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,file=mypasswd.txt
Providing data indirectly in base64 format
$QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,file=mykey.b64,format=base64
Providing data with encryption
$QEMU -object secret,id=master0,file=mykey.b64,format=base64 \
-object secret,id=sec0,data=[base64 ciphertext],\
keyid=master0,iv=[base64 IV],format=base64
Note that 'format' here refers to the format of the ciphertext
data. The decrypted data must always be in raw byte format.
More examples are shown in the updated docs.

Introduce a QCryptoTLSSession object that will encapsulate
all the code for setting up and using a client/sever TLS
session. This isolates the code which depends on the gnutls
library, avoiding #ifdefs in the rest of the codebase, as
well as facilitating any possible future port to other TLS
libraries, if desired. It makes use of the previously
defined QCryptoTLSCreds object to access credentials to
use with the session. It also includes further unit tests
to validate the correctness of the TLS session handshake
and certificate validation. This is functionally equivalent
to the current TLS session handling code embedded in the
VNC server, and will obsolete it.

Introduce a QCryptoTLSCredsX509 class which is used to
manage x509 certificate TLS credentials. This will be
the preferred credential type offering strong security
characteristics
Example CLI configuration:
$QEMU -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,endpoint=server,\
dir=/path/to/creds/dir,verify-peer=yes
The 'id' value in the -object args will be used to associate the
credentials with the network services. For example, when the VNC
server is later converted it would use
$QEMU -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,.... \
-vnc 127.0.0.1:1,tls-creds=tls0

Introduce a QCryptoTLSCredsAnon class which is used to
manage anonymous TLS credentials. Use of this class is
generally discouraged since it does not offer strong
security, but it is required for backwards compatibility
with the current VNC server implementation.
Simple example CLI configuration:
$QEMU -object tls-creds-anon,id=tls0,endpoint=server
Example using pre-created diffie-hellman parameters
$QEMU -object tls-creds-anon,id=tls0,endpoint=server,\
dir=/path/to/creds/dir
The 'id' value in the -object args will be used to associate the
credentials with the network services. For example, when the VNC
server is later converted it would use
$QEMU -object tls-creds-anon,id=tls0,.... \
-vnc 127.0.0.1:1,tls-creds=tls0

Introduce a QCryptoTLSCreds class to act as the base class for
storing TLS credentials. This will be later subclassed to provide
handling of anonymous and x509 credential types. The subclasses
will be user creatable objects, so instances can be created &
deleted via 'object-add' and 'object-del' QMP commands respectively,
or via the -object command line arg.
If the credentials cannot be initialized an error will be reported
as a QMP reply, or on stderr respectively.
The idea is to make it possible to represent and manage TLS
credentials independently of the network service that is using
them. This will enable multiple services to use the same set of
credentials and minimize code duplication. A later patch will
convert the current VNC server TLS code over to use this object.
The representation of credentials will be functionally equivalent
to that currently implemented in the VNC server with one exception.
The new code has the ability to (optionally) load a pre-generated
set of diffie-hellman parameters, if the file dh-params.pem exists,
whereas the current VNC server will always generate them on startup.
This is beneficial for admins who wish to avoid the (small) time
sink of generating DH parameters at startup and/or avoid depleting
entropy.

Future patches will be adding more crypto related APIs which
rely on QOM infrastructure. This creates a problem, because
QOM relies on library constructors to register objects. When
you have a file in a static .a library though which is only
referenced by a constructor the linker is dumb and will drop
that file when linking to the final executable :-( The only
workaround for this is to link the .a library to the executable
using the -Wl,--whole-archive flag, but this creates its own
set of problems because QEMU is relying on lazy linking for
libqemuutil.a. Using --whole-archive majorly increases the
size of final executables as they now contain a bunch of
object code they don't actually use.
The least bad option is to thus not include the crypto objects
in libqemuutil.la, and instead define a crypto-obj-y variable
that is referenced directly by all the executables that need
this code (tools + softmmu, but not qemu-ga). We avoid pulling
entire of crypto-obj-y into the userspace emulators as that
would force them to link to gnutls too, which is not required.

Introduce a generic cipher API and an implementation of it that
supports only the built-in AES and DES-RFB algorithms.
The test suite checks the supported algorithms + modes to
validate that every backend implementation is actually correctly
complying with the specs.

To prepare for a generic internal cipher API, move the
built-in D3DES implementation into the crypto/ directory.
This is not in fact a normal D3DES implementation, it is
D3DES with double & triple length modes removed, and the
key bytes in reversed bit order. IOW it is crippled
specifically for the "benefit" of RFB, so call the new
files desrfb.c instead of d3des.c to make it clear that
it isn't a generally useful impl.

Introduce a new crypto/ directory that will (eventually) contain
all the cryptographic related code. This initially defines a
wrapper for initializing gnutls and for computing hashes with
gnutls. The former ensures that gnutls is guaranteed to be
initialized exactly once in QEMU regardless of CLI args. The
block quorum code currently fails to initialize gnutls so it
only works by luck, if VNC server TLS is not requested. The
hash APIs avoids the need to litter the rest of the code with
preprocessor checks and simplifies callers by allocating the
correct amount of memory for the requested hash.
