600462834f Remove all Author(s): lines from source file headers
In many files there are header comments that contain an Author:
statement, supposedly reflecting who originally wrote the code.
In a large collaborative project like libvirt, any non-trivial
file will have been modified by a large number of different
contributors. IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,
omitting people who have made significant contribitions.

In some places Author: lines have been added despite the person
merely being responsible for creating the file by moving existing
code out of another file. IOW, the Author: lines give an incorrect
record of authorship.

With this all in mind, the comments are useless as a means to identify
who to talk to about code in a particular file. Contributors will always
be better off using 'git log' and 'git blame' if they need to  find the
author of a particular bit of code.

This commit thus deletes all Author: comments from the source and adds
a rule to prevent them reappearing.

The Copyright headers are similarly misleading and inaccurate, however,
we cannot delete these as they have legal meaning, despite being largely
inaccurate. In addition only the copyright holder is permitted to change
their respective copyright statement.

30efb515ce nss: Use macro to generate public API names
The name of the exported functions for an NSS module is quite
fixed, it is derived from the module name:

  _nss_$module_$function

Since we will create another NSS module with very similar
implementation we might as well generate the function names at
the compile time.

5bcd96f531 tests: Introduce nsslinktest
The only purpose of this test is to catch possible linking
problems with libnss_libvirt.so.2.
One of the problems I faced was that the NSS plugin was unloaded
immediately after it got loaded and the name resolution process
continued with next configured option. Without any error. It was
very hard to debug why until I created this simple test and found
out immediately that there were some symbols missing. The reason
why problem was not caught in nsstest is that in the test we want
to use all the fancy stuff and therefore link it with libvirt.la.
So even if there's a symbol missing in the NSS plugin it will be
found in the libvirt.la.
But even after I resolved the issue we still need this test
because files the NSS plugin is built from are still live (mostly
those under utils/ dir). So as they change new symbol might be
required which would render the NSS plugin unusable.
