This is particularly useful on operating systems that don't ship
Perl as part of the base system (eg. FreeBSD) while still working
just as well as it did before on Linux.
In one case (src/rpc/genprotocol.pl) the interpreter path was
missing altogether.

This reverts commit e4b980c853.
When a binary links against a .a archive (as opposed to a shared library),
any symbols which are marked as 'weak' get silently dropped. As a result
when the binary later runs, those 'weak' functions have an address of
0x0 and thus crash when run.
This happened with virtlogd and virtlockd because they don't link to
libvirt.so, but instead just libvirt_util.a and libvirt_rpc.a. The
virRandomBits symbols was weak and so left out of the virtlogd &
virtlockd binaries, despite being required by virHashTable functions.
Various other binaries like libvirt_lxc, libvirt_iohelper, etc also
link directly to .a files instead of libvirt.so, so are potentially
at risk of dropping symbols leading to a later runtime crash.
This is normal linker behaviour because a weak symbol is not treated
as undefined, so nothing forces it to be pulled in from the .a You
have to force the linker to pull in weak symbols using -u$SYMNAME
which is not a practical approach.
This risk is silent bad linkage that affects runtime behaviour is
not acceptable for a fix that was merely trying to fix the test
suite. So stop using __weak__ again.

Currently all mockable functions are annotated with the 'noinline'
attribute. This is insufficient to guarantee that a function can
be reliably mocked with an LD_PRELOAD. The C language spec allows
the compiler to assume there is only a single implementation of
each function. It can thus do things like propagating constant
return values into the caller at compile time, or creating
multiple specialized copies of the function body each optimized
for a different caller. To prevent these optimizations we must
also set the 'noclone' and 'weak' attributes.
This fixes the test suite when libvirt.so is built with CLang
with optimization enabled.

Currently, we are checking if libvirt.so contains public symbols.
However, sometimes we rename an internal symbol and forget to
change libvirt_private.syms accordingly. Hence, it's safer to check
for internal symbols as well.
When the event symbols were added to the public API, not all
of them were removed from the private exports list. Solaris
gets unhappy when there are duplicated symbols. Extend the
symfile check to test for this scenario
I tested both OpenBSD and cygwin; both failed 'make check' with:
GEN check-symfile
Can't return outside a subroutine at ./check-symfile.pl line 13.
Perl requires 'exit 77' instead of 'return 77' in that context,
but even with that tweak, the build still fails, since the exit
code of 77 is only special to explicit TESTS=foo listings, and
not to make-only dependency rules where we are not going through
automake's test framework.
* src/check-symfile.pl: Kill bogus platform check...
* src/Makefile.am (check-symfile): ...and replace with an automake
conditional.
This converts the following public API datatypes to use the
virObject infrastructure:
virConnectPtr
virDomainPtr
virDomainSnapshotPtr
virInterfacePtr
virNetworkPtr
virNodeDevicePtr
virNWFilterPtr
virSecretPtr
virStreamPtr
virStorageVolPtr
virStoragePoolPtr
The code is significantly simplified, since the mutex in the
virConnectPtr object now only needs to be held when accessing
the per-connection virError object instance. All other operations
are completely lock free.

public datatypes to use virObject

The cfg.mk file rule to check for tab characters was not
applied to perl files. Much of our Perl code is full of
tabs as a result. Kill them, kill them all !
During refactoring of code, it has proved common to forget to
remove old symbols from the .syms file. While the Win32 linker
will complain about this, the Linux ELF linker does not. The
new test case validates that every symbol listed in the .syms
file actually exists in the built ELF libraries.
