Change subject: agent: Implement basics for API Versioning ...................................................................... agent: Implement basics for API Versioning This commit introduces the basics needed to support API versioning between the ovirt-guest-agent and VDSM. How the negotiation works: - VDSM has as a default the apiVersion value set to _DISABLED_API_VALUE marking it as unsupported - The guest agent sends its max supported version with every `heartbeat` message - VDSM checks that `apiVersion` exists in the `heartbeat` message arguments - If it exists it retrieves the minimum common version and sends the `api-version` message with the common version as `apiVersion` argument - If it does NOT exist it and the apiVersion is not set to _DISABLED_API_VALUE it will set it to _DISABLED_API_VALUE, with the meaning that it is not supported at all by the guest agent on the other end. - The guest agent on receiving this message makes it own check and sets the `apiVersion` to the commonVersion - If VDSM sends the `refresh` command it also sends its `apiVersion` value however if it does not, capable guest agents are disabling the versioning support and will know it in pre-supported state as well. NOTE: VDSM will never send an api-version message without being triggered. This is to ensure backwards compatibility.
