These functions perform different handshakes between the two libvirt
ends of the migration.  However, the entire migration is done by a
single qemu monitor command, and it is that monitor command that further
divides the work into phases such as pre-copy and stop-copy.

The MigratePerform function is the one place that calls the qemu monitor
command.  I know there have been proposals upstream in qemu to add
additional statistics in 'query-migrate' monitor command; perhaps there
is still more work needed in libvirt to grab those additional statistics
in a manner that can be exposed to the user.
