Event implementations need to be registered before a connection to the
Hypervisor is opened, otherwise event handling can be impaired (e.g.
delayed messages). This fact is referenced in an e-mail [1], but should
also be noted in the documentation of the registration functions.

Any source file which calls the logging APIs now needs
to have a VIR_LOG_INIT("source.name") declaration at
the start of the file. This provides a static variable
of the virLogSource type.

Since libvirt 0.9.3, the entire virevent.c file has been a public
API, so improve the documentation in this file. Also, fix a
potential core dump - it could only be triggered by bogus use of
the API and would only affect the caller (not libvirtd), but we
might as well be nice.
* src/libvirt.c (virConnectSetKeepAlive)
(virConnectDomainEventRegister, virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny)
(virConnectNetworkEventRegisterAny): Document event loop requirement.
* src/util/virevent.c (virEventAddHandle, virEventRemoveHandle)
(virEventAddTimeout, virEventRemoveTimeout): Likewise.
(virEventUpdateHandle, virEventUpdateTimeout): Likewise, and avoid
core dump if caller didn't register handler.
(virEventRunDefaultImpl): Expand example, and set up code block in
html docs.
(virEventRegisterImpl, virEventRegisterDefaultImpl): Document more
on the use of the event loop.

In commit 6d41cb8, the interface for virEventAddHandleFunc was changed.
This patch updates the documentation for virEventAddHandle to reflect
the new significance of the return value. Also, both functions now
mention -1 for failure.
Commit 6094ad7b (0.9.3 release) promoted several functions from
internal to public, but forgot to fix the documentation generator
to provide details about those functions.
For an example of what this fixes, look at:
file:///path/to/libvirt/docs/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virEventAddHandle
before and after the patch.
* docs/apibuild.py (ignored_functions): Don't ignore functions
that were turned into official API.
* src/util/virevent.c: Fix comments to pass through parser.
