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 IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,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

By making use of GNU C's cleanup attribute handled by the
VIR_AUTOPTR macro for declaring aggregate pointer variables,
majority of the calls to *Free functions can be dropped, which
in turn leads to getting rid of most of our cleanup sections.

Throughout the code, we have several places need to construct a path
somewhere in /sys/class/net/... They are not consistent and nearly
each code piece invents its own way how to do it. So unify this by:
1) use virNetDevSysfsFile() wherever possible
2) At least use common macro SYSFS_NET_DIR declared in virnetdev.h at
the rest of places which can't go with 1)

This reverts commit 433b427ff8.
The patch was added in order to overcome a bug in iproute2 and since it
was properly identified as a bug, particularly in openSUSE 13.2, and it
is being worked on [1], the best solution for libvirt seems to be to
keep the old behaviour.
[1] https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=907093
Due to a change (or bug?) in ip link implementation, the command
'ip link add vnet0...'
is forced into
'ip link add name vnet0...'
The changed command also works on older versions of iproute2, just the
'name' parameter has been made mandatory.
Now that we ditched our custom pthread impl for Win32, we can
use PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER for static mutexes. This avoids
the need to use a virOnce one-time global initializer in a
number of places.

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.

Auditing all callers of virCommandRun and virCommandWait that
passed a non-NULL pointer for exit status turned up some
interesting observations. Many callers were merely passing
a pointer to avoid the overall command dying, but without
caring what the exit status was - but these callers would
be better off treating a child death by signal as an abnormal
exit. Other callers were actually acting on the status, but
not all of them remembered to filter by WIFEXITED and convert
with WEXITSTATUS; depending on the platform, this can result
in a status being reported as 256 times too big. And among
those that correctly parse the output, it gets rather verbose.
Finally, there were the callers that explicitly checked that
the status was 0, and gave their own message, but with fewer
details than what virCommand gives for free.
So the best idea is to move the complexity out of callers and
into virCommand - by default, we return the actual exit status
already cleaned through WEXITSTATUS and treat signals as a
failed command; but the few callers that care can ask for raw
status and act on it themselves.

Consider dozen of LXC domains, each of them having this type of interface:
<interface type='network'>
<mac address='52:54:00:a7:05:4b'/>
<source network='default'/>
</interface>
When starting these domain in parallel, all workers may meet in
virNetDevVethCreate() where a race starts. Race over allocating veth
pairs because allocation requires two steps:
1) find first nonexistent '/sys/class/net/vnet%d/'
2) run 'ip link add ...' command
Now consider two threads. Both of them find N as the first unused veth
index but only one of them succeeds allocating it. The other one fails.
For such cases, we are running the allocation in a loop with 10 rounds.
However this is very flaky synchronization. It should be rather used
when libvirt is competing with other process than when libvirt threads
fight each other. Therefore, internally we should use mutex to serialize
callers, and do the allocation in loop (just in case we are competing
with a different process). By the way we have something similar already
since 1cf97c87.

The XML parser reserves 'vnet' as a prefix for automatically
generated NIC device names. Switch the veth device creation
to use this prefix, so it does not have to worry about clashes
with user specified names in the XML.

The veth device creation code run in two steps, first it looks
for two free veth device names, then it runs ip link to create
the veth pair. There is an obvious race between finding free
names and creating them, when guests are started in parallel.
Rewrite the code to loop and re-try creation if it fails, to
deal with the race condition.

The kernel automatically destroys veth devices when cleaning
up the container network namespace. During normal shutdown, it
is thus likely that the attempt to run 'ip link del vethN'
will fail. If it fails, check if the device exists, and avoid
reporting an error if it has gone. This switches to use the
virCommand APIs instead of virRun too.

These all existed before virfile.c was created, and for some reason
weren't moved.
This is mostly straightfoward, although the syntax rule prohibiting
write() had to be changed to have an exception for virfile.c instead
of virutil.c.
This movement pointed out that there is a function called
virBuildPath(), and another almost identical function called
virFileBuildPath(). They really should be a single function, which
I'll take care of as soon as I figure out what the arglist should look
like.
The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
In virNetDevVethDelete the virRun method will properly report
errors, but when checking the exit status for non-zero exit
code no error is reported
