Ian Campbell 497b07e57b Add a simple qemu guest agent package
We don't actually build it here, we just use the alpine package, which is
already included in the linuxkit/alpine base.

Can be instantiated with a service stanza such as:
  - name: qemu-ga
    image: "linuxkit/qemu-ga:e5fbcf55926f6e1a96b3e49a392e547e8be1022c"
    binds:
      - /dev/vport0p1:/dev/vport0p1

The only functionality I've tested is to report IP addresses to the host (e.g.
via `virsh domifaddr`).

The image is configured to use `/dev/vport0p1` by default. If your VM image is
using a different port number then you can either incorporate the rename into
the bind ("/dev/vport1p1:/dev/vport0p1") or override the command with:
    command: ["/usr/bin/qemu-ga", "-p", "/dev/vport1p1"]

The mdev tool appears to not create the symlinks which udev would provide
`/dev/virtio-ports/org.qemu.guest_agent.0` hence the need to hardcode the
potentially unstable `/dev/vportNp1`, `N` seems to depend on the number and
order of virtio devices in use. I don't know if it is possible to get mdev to
create these links. For reference the udev rule is:

    SUBSYSTEM=="virtio-ports", KERNEL=="vport*", ATTR{name}=="?*", SYMLINK+="virtio-ports/$attr{name}"

See https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Qemu_guest_agent for more info on the guest
agent.

A suitable stanza is added to `projects/swarmd/swarmd.yml` since that is where
I am using it.

Projects

We aim to provide a set of open spaces for collaboration to help move projects towards production. Projects should usually at a minimum provide a README of how to get started using the project with Moby, and a roadmap document explaining what the aims are and how to contribute. Most projects will probably provide a way to run the project in a custom Moby build in its current state, which ideally will be integrated in the Moby CI so there are checks that it builds and runs. Over time we hope that many projects will graduate into the recommended production defaults, but other projects may remain as ongoing projects, such as kernel hardening.

If you want to create a project, please submit a pull request to create a new directory here.
