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 IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,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

So every caller does the same: they use virStringListAdd() to add
new item into the list and then free the old copy to replace it
with new list. It's not very memory effective, nor environmental
friendly.

So far we are repeating the following lines over and over:
if (!(virSomeObjectClass = virClassNew(virClassForObject(),
"virSomeObject",
sizeof(virSomeObject),
virSomeObjectDispose)))
return -1;
While this works, it is impossible to do some checking. Firstly,
the class name (the 2nd argument) doesn't match the name in the
code in all cases (the 3rd argument). Secondly, the current style
is needlessly verbose. This commit turns example into following:
if (!(VIR_CLASS_NEW(virSomeObject,
virClassForObject)))
return -1;

Move networkMacMgrFileName into src/util/virmacmap.c and rename to
virMacMapFileName. We're about to move some more MacMgr processing
files into virnetworkobj and it doesn't make sense to have this helper
in the driver or in virnetworkobj.

Due to nature of operations we do over the string list (more
precisely due to how virStringListRemove() works), it is not the
best idea to use dataFree callback. Problem is, on MAC address
remove, the string list remove function modifies the original
list in place. Then, virHashUpdateEntry() is called which frees
all the data stored in the list rendering @newMacsList point to
freed data.

In virMacMapRemoveLocked() we have two variables: @macsList and
@newMacsList. Obviously, @newMacsList is supposed to hold pointer
to modified list but in fact it holds pointer to the old list.
It's confusing.

This module will be used to track:
<domain, mac address list>
pairs. It will be important to know these mappings without
libvirt connection (that is from a JSON file), because NSS
module will use those to provide better host name translation.
