Ideally, a software that's translating domain names would iterate
over all addresses the NSS returned, but some software does not
bother (e.g. ping). What happens is that for instance when
installing a guest, it's assigned one IP address but once it's
installed and rebooted it gets a different IP address (because
client ID used for the first DHCP traffic when installing the
guest was generated dynamically and never saved so after reboot
the guest generated new ID which resulted in different IP address
to be assigned). This results in 'ping $domain' not working
properly as it still pings the old IP address. Well, it might -
NSS plugin does not guarantee any order of addresses.
To resolve this problem, we can sort the array just before
returning it to the caller (ping) so that the newer IP addresses
come before older ones.

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 IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,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

All of the ones being removed are pulled in by internal.h. The only
exception is sanlock which expects the application to include <stdint.h>
before sanlock's headers, because sanlock prototypes use fixed width
int, but they don't include stdint.h themselves, so we have to leave
that one in place.

Right-aligning backslashes when defining macros or using complex
commands in Makefiles looks cute, but as soon as any changes is
required to the code you end up with either distractingly broken
alignment or unnecessarily big diffs where most of the changes
are just pushing all backslashes a few characters to one side.

So far the NSS module looks up only hostnames as provided by
guests themselves. However, there are some cases where this is
not enough: e.g. when there's a fresh new guest being installed
(with some generic hostname) say from a live ISO image; or some
(older) systems don't advertise their hostname in DHCP
transactions at all.
In cases like that it would be helpful if we translate domain
name as seen by libvirt too so that users can:
# virsh start $dom && ssh $dom
In order to achieve that new libvirt-guest module is introduced,
while older libvirt module maintains its current behaviour (that
is translating guest provided names into IP addresses).

The name of the exported functions for an NSS module is quite
fixed, it is derived from the module name:
_nss_$module_$function
Since we will create another NSS module with very similar
implementation we might as well generate the function names at
the compile time.

* tools/nss/libvirt_nss.[ch]: add BSD-comptabile wrappers and
register via the nss_module_register() interface
* m4/virt-nss.m4: add checks if we're building NSS for FreeBSD
* tools/Makefile.am: handle target library name differences, as
Linux needs libnss_libvirt.so.2 and FreeBSD needs
nss_libvirt.so.1. Also, different syms files have to be used
as Linux needs to export all the methods while FreeBSD
only needs to have nss_module_register()
* tests/nsstest.c, tests/nssmock.c: s/__linux__/NSS/
* tests/nssmock.c: pass int instead of mode_t to va_arg() to please
gcc 4.8
* libvirt_nss_bsd.syms: FreeBSD syms file
The variable is dereferenced prior its check for NULL. The check
itself does not make much sense anyway - it's our test, we know
we are not passing NULL.

Problem is that in the test any status file matching
tests/nssdata/*.status is loaded as it contains IP addresses that
are parsed. However, there's no order specified in which the
files are loaded. Therefore on different systems the order may be
different. This is then producing an unexpected results.
Instead of defining an order in which the files are loaded, make
the code that checks for missing IP addresses (or redundant ones)
cope with unordered list of addresses. The reasoning behind is
that the code doing the parsing is used in real NSS module where
we don't care for ordering.

This allows setting the address in host and/or network order and makes
the naming consistent. Now you don't need to call [hn]to[nh]l()
functions as that is taken care of by these functions. Also, now
the *NetOrder take the address in network order, the other functions in
host order so the naming and usage is consistent. Some places were
having the address in network order and calling ntohl() just so the
original function can call htonl() again. This makes it nicer to read.
