Pre-Glib era which used malloc allowed the size of the client-side
buffers to be declared as 0, because malloc documents that it can either
return 0 or a unique pointer on 0 size allocations.
With glib this doesn't work anymore, because glib documents that for
such allocation requests NULL is always returned which results in an
error in our public API checks server-side.
This patch complements the fix in the RPC layer by explicitly erroring
out on the following combination of args used by our legacy APIs (their
moder equivalents don't suffer from this):
function(caller-allocated-array, size, ...) {
if (!caller-allocated-array && size > 0)
return error;
}
treating everything else as a valid input and potentially let that fail
on the server-side rather than client-side.

We copy-and-paste a lot of our docs, as evidenced by the number of
*GetXMLDesc() functions which had the same unusual indentation and
missing capital in the second sentence of the returns paragraph.

Add some cautionary words related to the create and delete
NWFilter Binding use cases and possible issues that may result
to the virsh nwfilter-binding-{create|delete} descriptions
and the virNWFilterBinding{CreateXML|Delete) API descriptions.
Essentially summarizing commit 2d9318b6c without using the
shoot yourself in the foot wording.

When the daemons are split there will need to be a way for the virt
drivers and/or network driver to create and delete bindings between
network ports and network filters. This defines a set of public APIs
that are suitable for managing this facility.

Whenever we declare a new object the first member of the struct
has to be virObject (or any other member of that family). Now, up
until now we did not care about the name of the struct member.
But lets unify it so that we can do some checks at compile time
later.
The unified name is 'parent'.

Seeing a log message saying 'flags=93' is ambiguous & confusing unless
you happen to know that libvirt always prints flags as hex. Change our
debug messages so that they always add a '0x' prefix when printing flags,
and '0' prefix when printing mode. A few other misc places gain a '0x'
prefix in error messages too.

There are also a couple that were very uninformatively just logging
the value of the pointer rather than the string itself:
* the "name" arg to virNodeDeviceLookupByName()
* wwnn and wwpn args to virNodeDeviceLookupSCSIHostByWWN()
All char*'s that make sense should now have their contents logged
rather than the pointer, and all %s args should now be inside
NULLSTR().
