/** @file
 * Settings File Manipulation API.
 *
 * Two classes, MainConfigFile and MachineConfigFile, represent the VirtualBox.xml and
 * machine XML files. They share a common ancestor class, ConfigFileBase, which shares
 * functionality such as talking to the XML back-end classes and settings version management.
 *
 * The code can read all VirtualBox settings files version 1.3 and higher. That version was
 * written by VirtualBox 2.0. It can write settings version 1.7 (used by VirtualBox 2.2 and
 * 3.0) and 1.9 (used by VirtualBox 3.1) and newer ones obviously.
 *
 * The settings versions enum is defined in src/VBox/Main/idl/VirtualBox.xidl. To introduce
 * a new settings version (should be necessary at most once per VirtualBox major release,
 * if at all), add a new SettingsVersion value to that enum and grep for the previously
 * highest value to see which code in here needs adjusting.
 *
 * Certainly ConfigFileBase::ConfigFileBase() will. Change VBOX_XML_VERSION below as well.
 *
 * Once a new settings version has been added, these are the rules for introducing a new
 * setting: If an XML element or attribute or value is introduced that was not present in
 * previous versions, then settings version checks need to be introduced. See the
 * SettingsVersion enumeration in src/VBox/Main/idl/VirtualBox.xidl for details about which
 * version was used when.
 *
 * The settings versions checks are necessary because since version 3.1, VirtualBox no longer
 * automatically converts XML settings files but only if necessary, that is, if settings are
 * present that the old format does not support. If we write an element or attribute to a
 * settings file of an older version, then an old VirtualBox (before 3.1) will attempt to
 * validate it with XML schema, and that will certainly fail.
 *
 * So, to introduce a new setting:
 *
 *   1) Make sure the constructor of corresponding settings structure has a proper default.
 *
 *   2) In the settings reader method, try to read the setting; if it's there, great, if not,
 *      the default value will have been set by the constructor. The rule is to be tolerant
 *      here.
 *
 *   3) In MachineConfigFile::bumpSettingsVersionIfNeeded(), check if the new setting has
 *      a non-default value (i.e. that differs from the constructor). If so, bump the
 *      settings version to the current version so the settings writer (4) can write out
 *      the non-default value properly.
 *
 *      So far a corresponding method for MainConfigFile has not been necessary since there
 *      have been no incompatible changes yet.
 *
 *   4) In the settings writer method, write the setting _only_ if the current settings
 *      version (stored in m->sv) is high enough. That is, for VirtualBox 4.0, write it
 *      only if (m->sv >= SettingsVersion_v1_11).

 * As a result, this gets called from two locations:

 *
 * In fl, the following flag bits are recognized:
 *
 *  --  BuildMachineXML_MediaRegistry: If set, the machine's media registry will
 *      be written, if present. This is not set when called from OVF because OVF
 *      has its own variant of a media registry. This flag is ignored unless the
 *      settings version is at least v1.11 (VirtualBox 4.0).
 *
 *  --  BuildMachineXML_IncludeSnapshots: If set, descend into the snapshots tree
 *      of the machine and write out <Snapshot> and possibly more snapshots under
 *      that, if snapshots are present. Otherwise all snapshots are suppressed
 *      (when called from OVF).
 *
 *  --  BuildMachineXML_WriteVboxVersionAttribute: If set, add a settingsVersion
 *      attribute to the machine tag with the vbox settings version. This is for
 *      the OVF export case in which we don't have the settings version set in
 *      the root element.
 *
 *  --  BuildMachineXML_SkipRemovableMedia: If set, removable media attachments
 *      (DVDs, floppies) are silently skipped. This is for the OVF export case
 *      until we support copying ISO and RAW media as well.  This flag is ignored
 *      unless the settings version is at least v1.9, which is always the case
 *      when this gets called for OVF export.
 *
 * --   BuildMachineXML_SuppressSavedState: If set, the Machine/@stateFile
 *      attribute is never set. This is also for the OVF export case because we
 *      cannot save states with OVF.
 *
 * @param elmMachine XML <Machine> element to add attributes and elements to.
 * @param fl Flags.
 * @param pllElementsWithUuidAttributes pointer to list that should receive UUID elements or NULL;
 *        see buildStorageControllersXML() for details.
