SmartNIC DPUs may not expose some privileged eswitch operations
to the hypervisor hosts. For example, this happens with Bluefield
devices running in the ECPF (default) mode for security reasons. While
VF MAC address programming is possible via an RTM_SETLINK operation,
trying to set a VLAN ID in the same operation will fail with EPERM.
The equivalent ip link commands below provide an illustration:
1. This works:
sudo ip link set enp130s0f0 vf 2 mac de:ad:be:ef:ca:fe
2. Setting (or clearing) a VLAN fails with EPERM:
sudo ip link set enp130s0f0 vf 2 vlan 0
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted
3. This is what Libvirt attempts to do today (when trying to clear a
VF VLAN at the same time as programming a VF MAC).
sudo ip link set enp130s0f0 vf 2 vlan 0 mac de:ad:be:ef:ca:fe
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted
If setting an explicit VLAN ID results in an EPERM, clearing a VLAN
(setting a VLAN ID to 0) can be handled gracefully by ignoring the
EPERM error with the rationale being that if we cannot set this state
in the first place, we cannot clear it either.
In order to keep explicit clearing of VLAN ID working as it used to
be passing a NULL pointer for VLAN ID is used.

There should be a way to show no intent in programming a VLAN at all
(including clearing it). This allows handling error conditions
differently when VLAN clearing is explicit (vlan id == 0) vs implicit
(vlanid == NULL - try to clear it if possible).

This has a benefit of being able to handle error codes for those
operations separately which is useful when drivers allow setting a MAC
address but do not allow setting a VLAN (which is the case with some
SmartNIC DPUs).

In preparation libtool "-module" flag removal, add lib prefix to all
mock shared objects.
While at it, introduce VIR_TEST_MOCK macros that makes path out of mock
name to be used with VIR_TEST_PRELOAD or VIR_TEST_MAIN_PRELOAD. That,
hopefully, improves readability, reduces line length and allows to
tailor VIR_TEST_MOCK for specific platform if it has shared library
suffix different from ".so".

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 IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,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.

Right-aligning backslashes when defining macros or using complex
commands in Makefiles looks cute, but as soon as any changes is
required to the code you end up with either distractingly broken
alignment or unnecessarily big diffs where most of the changes
are just pushing all backslashes a few characters to one side.

These had been declared in conf/device_conf.h, but then used in
util/virnetdev.c, meaning that we had to #include conf/device_conf.h
in virnetdev.c (which we have for a long time said shouldn't be done.
This caused a bigger problem when I tried to #include util/virnetdev.h
in a file in src/conf (which is allowed) - for some reason the
"device_conf.h: File not found" error.
The solution is to move the data types and functions used in util
sources from conf to util. Some names were adjusted during the move
("virInterface" --> "virNetDevIf", and "VIR_INTERFACE" -->
"VIR_NETDEV_IF")
