Historically, we declared pointer type to our types:
typedef struct _virXXX virXXX;
typedef virXXX *virXXXPtr;
But usefulness of such declaration is questionable, at best.
Unfortunately, we can't drop every such declaration - we have to
carry some over, because they are part of public API (e.g.
virDomainPtr). But for internal types - we can do drop them and
use what every other C project uses 'virXXX *'.
This change was generated by a very ugly shell script that
generated sed script which was then called over each file in the
repository. For the shell script refer to the cover letter:

Require that all headers are guarded by a symbol named
LIBVIRT_$FILENAME
where $FILENAME is the uppercased filename, with all characters
outside a-z changed into '_'.
Note we do not use a leading __ because that is technically a
namespace reserved for the toolchain.

This introduces a syntax-check script that validates header files use a
common layout:
/*
...copyright header...
*/
<one blank line>
#ifndef SYMBOL
# define SYMBOL
....content....
#endif /* SYMBOL */
For any file ending priv.h, before the #ifndef, we will require a
guard to prevent bogus imports:
#ifndef SYMBOL_ALLOW
# error ....
#endif /* SYMBOL_ALLOW */
<one blank line>
The many mistakes this script identifies are then fixed.
