The virCaps structure gathered a ton of irrelevant data over time that.
The original reason is that it was propagated to the XML parser
functions.
This patch aims to create a new data structure virDomainXMLConf that
will contain immutable data that are used by the XML parser. This will
allow two things we need:
1) Get rid of the stuff from virCaps
2) Allow us to add callbacks to check and add driver specific stuff
after domain XML is parsed.
This first attempt removes pointers to private data allocation functions
to this new structure and update all callers and function that require
them.
To enable virCapabilities instances to be reference counted,
turn it into a virObject. All cases of virCapabilitiesFree
turn into virObjectUnref

The <hostdev> device type has long had a redundant "mode"
attribute, which has always been "subsys". This finally
introduces a new mode "capabilities", which will be used
by the LXC driver for device assignment. Since container
based virtualization uses a single kernel, the idea of
assigning physical PCI devices doesn't make sense. It is
still reasonable to assign USB devices, but for assigning
arbitrary nodes in /dev, the new 'capabilities' mode is
to be used.
The first capability support is 'storage', which is for
assignment of block devices. Functionally this is really
pretty similar to the <disk> support. The only difference
is the device node name is identical in both host and
container namespaces.
<hostdev mode='capabilities' type='storage'>
<source>
<block>/dev/sdf1</block>
</source>
</hostdev>
The second capability support is 'misc', which is for
assignment of character devices. There is no existing
parallel to this. Again the device node is the same
inside & outside the container.
<hostdev mode='capabilities' type='misc'>
<source>
<char>/dev/input/event3</char>
</source>
</hostdev>
The reason for keeping the char & storage devices
separate in the domain XML, is to mirror the split
in the node device XML. NB the node device XML does
not yet report character devices, but that's another
new patch to come

An upstream gnulib bug[1] meant that some of our syntax checks
weren't being run. Fix up our offenders before we upgrade to
a newer gnulib.
