Amos Kong April 20, 2012, 4:43 a.m. UTC
Use help functions in qemu-socket.c for tcp migration,
which already support ipv6 addresses.

Currently errp will be set to UNDEFINED_ERROR when migration fails,
qemu would output "migration failed: ...", and current user can
see a message("An undefined error has occurred") in monitor.

This patch changed tcp_start_outgoing_migration()/inet_connect()
/inet_connect_opts(), socket error would be passed back,
then current user can see a meaningful err message in monitor.

Qemu will exit if listening fails, so output socket error
to qemu stderr.

For IPv6 brackets must be mandatory if you require a port.
Referencing to RFC5952, the recommended format is:
  [2312::8274]:5200

test status: Successed
listen side: qemu-kvm .... -incoming tcp:[2312::8274]:5200
client side: qemu-kvm ...
             (qemu) migrate -d tcp:[2312::8274]:5200

Changes from v7:
- add unknown error process
