File copy
---------
This plugin lets you copy files from the host to the VM under construction,
create directories, and set permissions and ownership.
Note that this necessarily violates the `first development guideline`_.

Settings
~~~~~~~~
The ``file_copy`` plugin takes a (non-empty) ``files`` list, and optionnaly a ``mkdirs`` list.
Files (items in the ``files`` list) must be objects with the following properties:
* ``src`` and ``dst`` (required) are the source and destination paths.
``src`` is relative to the current directory, whereas ``dst`` is a path in the VM.
* ``permissions`` (optional) is a permission string in a format appropriate for ``chmod(1)``.
* ``owner`` and ``group`` (optional) are respectively a user and group specification,
in a format appropriate for ``chown(1)`` and ``chgrp(1)``.
Folders (items in the ``mkdirs`` list) must be objects with the following properties:
* ``dir`` (required) is the path of the directory.
* ``permissions``, ``owner`` and ``group`` are the same as for files.
