Christian Brauner 49e2af9277 shared: add varlink interface definitions for machine instance control
Add three varlink interface definitions for the machine instance control
hierarchy:

- io.systemd.MachineInstance: generic operations applicable to both
  containers and VMs (PowerOff, Reboot, Pause, Resume, QueryStatus,
  SubscribeEvents). nspawn could implement this same interface later.

- io.systemd.VirtualMachineInstance: VM-specific but VMM-agnostic
  operations. Empty for now, future home for AddBlockDevice and similar.

- io.systemd.QemuMachineInstance: QEMU-specific operations. Defines
  AcquireQMP() for protocol upgrade to a direct QMP connection.

The "Instance" suffix avoids collision with machined's existing
io.systemd.Machine interface.
