4a8d9d4953 storage: change custom namespace URIs to drop '/source' component
The custom namespaces were originally registered against the storage
pool source struct, but during review this was changed to the top level
storage pool struct. The namespace URIs were not updated to match, so
had a redundant '/source' component.

7a227688a8 storage: Add infrastructure to manage XML namespace options
Introduce the virStoragePoolFSMountOptionsDef to be used to
manage the Storage Pool XML Namespace for mount options.

Using a new virStorageBackendNamespaceInit function, set the
virStoragePoolXMLNamespace into the _virStoragePoolOptions when
the storage backend is loaded.

Modify the storagepool.rng to allow for the usage of a different
XML namespace to parse the fs_mount_opts to be included with
the fs and netfs storage pool definitions.

Modify the storagepoolxml2xmltest to utilize a properly modified
XML file to parse and format the namespace for a netfs storage pool.

07c9d6601d qemu: use line breaks in command line args written to log
The QEMU command line arguments are very long and currently all written
on a single line to /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$GUEST.log. This introduces
logic to add line breaks after every env variable and "-" optional
argument, and every positional argument. This will create a clearer log
file, which will in turn present better in bug reports when people cut +
paste from the log into a bug comment.

An example log file entry now looks like this:

600462834f Remove all Author(s): lines from source file headers
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 IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,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.
