b36b20a1b3 build: fix use of $(AUG_GENTEST) as a dependency
The use of $(AUG_GENTEST) as a dependency in the makefiles is
a problem because this was assumed to be the filename of the
script, but is in fact a full shell command line.

Split it into two variables, so it can be correctly used for
dependencies.

cfbe9f1201 build: link to glib library
Add the main glib.h to internal.h so that all common code can use it.

Historically glib allowed applications to register an alternative
memory allocator, so mixing g_malloc/g_free with malloc/free was not
safe.

This was feature was dropped in 2.46.0 with:

        Deprecate and drop support for memory vtables

Applications are still encourged to match g_malloc/g_free, but it is no
longer a mandatory requirement for correctness, just stylistic. This is
explicitly clarified in

        gmem: clarify that g_malloc always uses the system allocator

Applications can still use custom allocators in general, but they must
do this by linking to a library that replaces the core malloc/free
implemenentation entirely, instead of via a glib specific call.

This means that libvirt does not need to be concerned about use of
g_malloc/g_free causing an ABI change in the public libary, and can
avoid memory copying when talking to external libraries.

This patch probes for glib, which provides the foundation layer with
a collection of data structures, helper APIs, and platform portability
logic.

Later patches will introduce linkage to gobject which provides the
object type system, built on glib, and gio which providing objects
for various interesting tasks, most notably including DBus client
and server support and portable sockets APIs, but much more too.

60ee70e93e vbox: introduce virtvboxd daemon
The virtvboxd daemon will be responsible for providing the vbox API
driver functionality. The vbox driver is still loaded by the main
libvirtd daemon at this stage, so virtvboxd must not be running at
the same time.

2d1fadb44d vbox: drop support for VirtualBox 4.x releases
Support for all the 4.x releases was ended by VirtualBox maintainers in
Dec 2015. Even the "newest" 4.3.40 of those is only supported on old
versions of Linux (Ubuntu <= 13.03, RHEL <= 6, SLES <= 11), which are all
discontinued hosts from libvirt's POV.

We can thus reasonably drop all 4.x support from the libvirt VirtualBox
driver.

03a07357e1 maint: Add filetype annotations to Makefile.inc.am
Vim has trouble figuring out the filetype automatically because
the name doesn't follow existing conventions; annotations like
the ones we already have in Makefile.ci help it out.
