"attach method" is from now on known as "backend".
...
This large, but mainly mechanical commit, renames "attach method"
everywhere to "backend".
Backwards compatibility of the API (guestfs_{set,get}_attach_method)
and environment (LIBGUESTFS_ATTACH_METHOD) is maintained, but in new
code use guestfs_{set,get}_backend and LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND instead.
The default backend (launching qemu directly) is now called 'direct'
instead of 'appliance', although you can still use 'appliance' as a
synonym.

protocol: Abstract out socket operations from protocol code.
...
This creates an abstract layer below the protocol code which handles
the socket operations. This will make it easier to introduce libvirt
virSocketPtr operations in future.
In the handle, g->conn contains the connection to the appliance.
g->conn is NULL when we're not connected.
poll(2) is used instead of select(2).
All error messages about launch failing or the appliance unexpectedly
dying are handled by two common error message functions, and these
contain a better explanation of what to do.

getline: Rename &n parameter as &allocsize.

The second parameter passed into getline(3) is the size of the
allocated buffer, *NOT* the length of the returned line. This can be
confusing, so rename this parameter as 'allocsize' consistently
throughout the code.
This is just code motion.
