Commit f22b7899 called to light a long-standing latent bug: the
behavior of virStrToLong_ui was different on 32-bit platforms
than on 64-bit platforms. Curse you, C type promotion and
narrowing rules, and strtoul specification. POSIX says that for
a 32-bit long, strtol handles only 2^32 values [LONG_MIN to
LONG_MAX] while strtoul handles 2^33 - 1 values [-ULONG_MAX to
ULONG_MAX] with twos-complement wraparound for negatives. Thus,
parsing -1 as unsigned long produces ULONG_MAX, rather than a
range error. We WANT[1] this same shortcut for turning -1 into
UINT_MAX when parsing to int; and get it for free with 32-bit
long. But with 64-bit long, ULONG_MAX is outside the range
of int and we were rejecting it as invalid; meanwhile, we were
silently treating -18446744073709551615 as 1 even though it
textually exceeds INT_MIN. Too bad there's not a strtoui() in
libc that does guaranteed parsing to int, regardless of the size
of long.
The bug has been latent since 2007, introduced by Jim Meyering
in commit 5d25419 in the attempt to eradicate unsafe use of
strto[u]l when parsing ints and longs. How embarrassing that we
are only discovering it now - so I'm adding a testsuite to ensure
that it covers all the corner cases we care about.
[1] Ideally, we really want the caller to be able to choose whether
to allow negative numbers to wrap around to their 2s-complement
counterpart, as in strtoul, or to force a stricter input range
of [0 to UINT_MAX] by rejecting negative signs; this will be added
in a later patch for all three int types.
This patch is tested on both 32- and 64-bit; the enhanced
virstringtest passes on both platforms, while virstoragetest now
reliably fails on both platforms instead of just 32-bit platforms.
That test will be fixed later.
* src/util/virstring.c (virStrToLong_ui): Ensure same behavior
regardless of platform long size.
* tests/virstringtest.c (testStringToLong): New function.
(mymain): Comprehensively test string to long parsing.

Any source file which calls the logging APIs now needs
to have a VIR_LOG_INIT("source.name") declaration at
the start of the file. This provides a static variable
of the virLogSource type.

Commit a1cbe4b5 added a check for spaces around assignments and this
patch extends it to checks for spaces around '=='. One exception is
virAssertCmpInt where comma after '==' is acceptable (since it is a
macro and '==' is its argument).

Add a virStringSearch method to virstring.{c,h} which performs
a regex match against a string and returns the matching substrings.

The test case average timing code has not been used by any test
case ever. Delete it to remove complexity.

We can't use GNULIB's fprintf-posix due to licensing
incompatibilities. We do already have a portable
formatting via virAsprintf() which we got from GNULIB
though. We can use to create a virFilePrintf() function.
But really gnulib could just provide a 'fprintf'
module, that depended on just its 'asprintf' module.

It may shorten the code a bit as the following pattern:
VIR_STRNDUP(dst, src, cond ? n : strlen(src))
is used on several places among our code. However, we can
move the strlen into virStrndup and thus write just:
VIR_STRNDUP(dst, src, cond ? n : -1)
The surest way to avoid regressions is to test documented behavior :)
* tests/virstringtest.c (testStrdup): New test case.

The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
This introduces a few new APIs for dealing with strings.
One to split a char * into a char **, another to join a
char ** into a char *, and finally one to free a char **
There is a simple test suite to validate the edge cases
too. No more need to use the horrible strtok_r() API,
or hand-written code for splitting strings.
