This is an initial implementation of the mgmt language. It is a
declarative (immutable) functional, reactive, domain specific
programming language. It is intended to be a language that is:
* safe
* powerful
* easy to reason about
With these properties, we hope this language, and the mgmt engine will
allow you to model the real-time systems that you'd like to automate.
This also includes a number of other associated changes. Sorry for the
large size of this patch.
I previously broke the pkg auto edges because the package list wasn't
available by the time it was called. This fixes the pkg resource so that
it gets the necessary list of packages when needed. Since this means
that a possible failure could happen, we also update the AutoEdges API
to support errors. Errors can only be generated at AutoEdge struct
creation, once the struct has been returned (right before modification
of the graph structure) there is no possibility to return any errors.
It's important to remember that the AutoEdges stuff gets called because
the Init of each resource, so make sure it doesn't depend on anything
that happens there or that gets cached as a result of Init.
This is all much nicer now and has a test too :)
This is required if we're going to have out of package resources. In
particular for third party packages, and also for if we decide to split
out each resource into a separate sub package.
I'm still working on reducing the size of the monster patches that I
land, but I'm exercising the priviledge as the initial author. In any
case, this refactors worker into two, and cleans up the passing around
of the processChan. This puts common code into Init and Close.
This allows hot (un)plugging of CPU's! It also includes some general
cleanups which were necessary to support this as well as some other
features to the virt resource. Hotunplug requires Fedora 25.
It also comes with a mini shell script to help demo this capability.
Many thanks to pkrempa for his help with the libvirt API!

The mgmt graph depends on state tracking to eliminate redundant pokes.
With the Watch loop now able to produce events quickly, it should no
longer play a part in determining the vertex state. This simplifies the
resource API as well!
This patch makes a number of changes in the engine surrounding the
resource API. In particular:
* Cleanup of send/read event.
* Cleanup of DoSend (now Event) in the Watch method.
* Events are now more consistently pointers.
* Exiting within Watch is now done in a single place.
* Multiple incoming events will be combined into a single action.
* Events in flight during an action are played back after CheckApply.
* Addition of Close method to API
This gets things ready for rate limiting and semaphore metaparams!
