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 IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,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

As advertised in the previous commit, we need the list of
accessed files to also contain action that caused the $path to
appear on the list. Not only this enables us to fine tune our
white list rules it also helps us to see why $path is reported.
For instance:
/run/user/1000/libvirt/libvirt-sock: connect: qemuxml2argvtest: QEMU XML-2-ARGV net-vhostuser-multiq

The aim of this mock is to track if a test doesn't touch anything
in live system. Well, connect() which definitely falls into that
category isn't tracked yet.

Clang complains about it:
error: second argument to 'va_arg' is of promotable type
'mode_t' (aka 'unsigned short'); this va_arg has undefined
behavior because arguments will be promoted to 'int'
[-Werror,-Wvarargs]
mode = va_arg(ap, mode_t);
^~~~~~
Work around the issue by passing int to va_arg() and casting
its return value to mode_t afterwards.

The latter is impossible to mock on platforms that use the
gnulib implementation, such as FreeBSD, while the former
doesn't suffer from this limitation.

There is a lot to explain, but I try to make it as short as
possible. I'd start by pasting some parts of sys/stat.h:
extern int stat (const char *__restrict __file,
struct stat *__restrict __buf) __THROW __nonnull ((1, 2));
extern int __REDIRECT_NTH (stat, (const char *__restrict __file,
struct stat *__restrict __buf), stat64)
__nonnull ((1, 2));
__extern_inline int
__NTH (stat (const char *__path, struct stat *__statbuf))
{
return __xstat (_STAT_VER, __path, __statbuf);
}
Only one of these is effective at once, due to some usage of
the mess we are dealing with in here. So, basically, while
compiling or linking stat() in our code can be transformed into
some other func. Or a dragon.
Now, if you read stat(2) manpage, esp. "C library/kernel
differences" section, you'll learn that glibc uses some tricks
for older applications to work. I haven't gotten around actual
code that does this, but based on my observations, if 'stat'
symbol is found, glibc assumes it's dealing with ancient
application. Unfortunately, it can be just ours stat coming from
our mock. Therefore, calling stat() from a test will end up in
our mock. But since glibc is not exposing the symbol anymore, our
call of real_stat() will SIGSEGV immediately as the pointer to
function is NULL. Therefore, we should expose only those symbols
we know glibc has.

It wasn't as great idea as I thought. Thing around stat() are
more complicated than that. Therefore we need to revert
86d1705a8a plus drop use of the macro as introduced in
later patches.

All the accesses to files outside our build or source directories
are now identified and appended into a file for later processing.
The location of the file that contains all the records can be
controlled via VIR_TEST_FILE_ACCESS env variable and defaults to
abs_builddir "/test_file_access.txt".
The script that will process the access file is to be added in
next commit.

The intent is that this library is going to be called every time
to check if we are not touching anything outside srcdir or
