/* This is the code used to send and receive RPC messages and (for

 *
 * (1) A non-daemon function.  There is no RPC involved at all, it's
 * all handled inside the library.
 *
 * (2) A simple RPC (eg. "mount").  We write the request, then read
 * the reply.  The sequence of calls is:
 *
 *   guestfs___set_busy
 *   guestfs___send
 *   guestfs___recv
 *   guestfs___end_busy
 *
 * (3) An RPC with FileOut parameters (eg. "upload").  We write the
 * request, then write the file(s), then read the reply.  The sequence
 * of calls is:
 *
 *   guestfs___set_busy
 *   guestfs___send
 *   guestfs___send_file  (possibly multiple times)
 *   guestfs___recv
 *   guestfs___end_busy
 *
 * (4) An RPC with FileIn parameters (eg. "download").  We write the
 * request, then read the reply, then read the file(s).  The sequence
 * of calls is:
 *
 *   guestfs___set_busy
 *   guestfs___send
 *   guestfs___recv
 *   guestfs___recv_file  (possibly multiple times)
 *   guestfs___end_busy
 *
 * (5) Both FileOut and FileIn parameters.  There are no calls like
 * this in the current API, but they would be implemented as a
 * combination of cases (3) and (4).
 *
 * During all writes and reads, we also select(2) on qemu stdout
 * looking for messages (guestfsd stderr and guest kernel dmesg), and
 * anything received is passed up through the log_message_cb.  This is
 * also the reason why all the sockets are non-blocking.  We also have
 * to check for EOF (qemu died).  All of this is handled by the
