This reverts commit 1f29f3da06.
Assuming <dt> is always used to document symbols is way too
broad, requiring far too many exemptions to be marked to
avoid syntax check rules.

The original libvirt logo was built using what appears to be
either Overpass font, or one stylistically very similar (the
slanted top of letters like 'l', 't', etc). The newly recreated
libvirt logo will use Overpass. Use this font for the website
text too, to provide a consistent style.

The library.xen file contains a braindump of thoughts dating
from the very first days of libvirt, when it was briefly
called libxen. This is not useful and potentially misleading
or confusing for people.

This initially started as a fix of some debug printing in
virCgroupDetect. However it turned out that other places suffer
from the similar problem. While dealing with pids, esp. in cases
where we cannot use pid_t for ABI stability reasons, we often
chose an unsigned integer type. This makes no sense as pid_t is
signed.
Also, new syntax-check rule is introduced so we won't repeat this
mistake.

Some of the examples make use of asprintf and strtol functions (to keep
things simple) which are prohibited to use within our code (enforced by
syntax-check). Therefore besides adding some examples, this patch also updates
cfg.mk to exclude examples directory from asprintf and strtol rules, as well as
updates .gitignore to exclude all the new admin binaries created in the
'examples' dir.

This script can already operate on a list of files.
Add a --check parameter to check if multiple files are wrapped
correctly with a single invocation of the script.
This checks forbids using "can not" and checks the placement
of some texinfo tags.
Drop it since we do not use texinfo and the check takes almost
twice as much as the rest of the checks.
The prohibit_nonreentrant syntax-check rule spawns a new shell
for every non-reentrant function we know, to make it easier
to mention the function name in the error message, with the _r
appended.
Since the line with the offending function is already printed
and some of the functions on our list do not have a _r counterpart,
compile them into one big regex and use a more generic error message
to save time.

Fix the regex for excluding files for this syntax-rule. The rule "include/"
will not work, because we are matching the whole line like this
"^(...|include/|...)$ so we need to use "include/libvirt/libvirt.+". The second
issue is that we are using only one '$' but there should be two of those at the
end. The last small adjustment is to escape dots '.' so it match only dot.

There is a lot to explain, but I try to make it as short as
possible. I'd start by pasting some parts of sys/stat.h:
extern int stat (const char *__restrict __file,
struct stat *__restrict __buf) __THROW __nonnull ((1, 2));
extern int __REDIRECT_NTH (stat, (const char *__restrict __file,
struct stat *__restrict __buf), stat64)
__nonnull ((1, 2));
__extern_inline int
__NTH (stat (const char *__path, struct stat *__statbuf))
{
return __xstat (_STAT_VER, __path, __statbuf);
}
Only one of these is effective at once, due to some usage of
the mess we are dealing with in here. So, basically, while
compiling or linking stat() in our code can be transformed into
some other func. Or a dragon.
Now, if you read stat(2) manpage, esp. "C library/kernel
differences" section, you'll learn that glibc uses some tricks
for older applications to work. I haven't gotten around actual
code that does this, but based on my observations, if 'stat'
symbol is found, glibc assumes it's dealing with ancient
application. Unfortunately, it can be just ours stat coming from
our mock. Therefore, calling stat() from a test will end up in
our mock. But since glibc is not exposing the symbol anymore, our
call of real_stat() will SIGSEGV immediately as the pointer to
function is NULL. Therefore, we should expose only those symbols
we know glibc has.

Commit 61b070cf20 cleaned up a number of cases where the <dt>
element was used to document symbols, but the symbol itself was
not inside a <code> element.
To make sure we don't end up having to clean up again a few
months from now, introduce a syntax-check rule that can spot
such mistakes.
All existing exceptions are marked as such, with either file
or line granularity depending on the case.

To prevent the error messages in cfg.mk from triggering the very
same rules they're supposed to explain, we split the message in
the middle of a symbol name, ending up with stuff like
'I am a me'ssage
Instead of relying on these quotation tricks, simply exclude
cfg.mk from the relevant checks.
Being consistent is nice, especially when it comes to defining our
regular expression, where using single quotes instead of double
quotes allows us to leave out a few backslashes.
Changing this required altering a few error messages.
The only remaining use of double quotes is one where they are
actually required for the check to work.
While we have a wiki page describing the feature [1] since the
feature is distributed in our .tar.gz we ought to document it. So
I went ahead, copied the wiki page and reformatted so it fits our
docs coding style.

After 9c17d665fd the tap device for ethernet network type is
automatically precreated before spawning qemu. Problem is, the
qemuxml2argvtest wasn't updated and thus is failing. Because of
all the APIs that new code is calling, I had to mock a lot. Also,
since the tap FDs are labeled separately from the rest of the
devices/files I had to enable NOP security driver for the test
too.

As mock libraries are not to be linked against libvirt, the
sc_prohibit_close syntax-check rule does not apply.
This fixes a syntax-check failure introduced by commit a03cbfe0fb.
There might be cases, like with typed params, where triggering this check isn't
desirable. But including the whole module in the exception regex is not always
to right way of doing things. By adding an option to manually disable this check
on a specific occurrence, the module itself will still be checked against the
rule.
As it turned out, we need to share some enums and declarations between
libvirt.h and libvirt-admin.h, but since our policy forbids direct includes of
libvirt*.h, there has to be some header exempt from this rule. This patch moves
the relevant part of code from libvirt.h.in to libvirt-common.h.in. Moreover,
since there is no need to have libvirt.h generated anymore, introduce a new
header libvirt.h which was previosly ignored from git and make the common
header ignored and generated instead.
Currently the QEMU stdout/stderr streams are written directly to
a regular file (eg /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$GUEST.log). While those
can be rotated by logrotate (using copytruncate option) this is
not very efficient. It also leaves open a window of opportunity
for a compromised/broken QEMU to DOS the host filesystem by
writing lots of text to stdout/stderr.
This makes it possible to connect the stdout/stderr file handles
to a pipe that is provided by virtlogd. The virtlogd daemon will
read from this pipe and write data to the log file, performing
file rotation whenever a pre-determined size limit is reached.

tests: handle backspace-newline pairs in test input files
all the test argv files were line wrapped so that the args
were less than 80 characters.
The way the line wrapping was done turns out to be quite
undesirable, because it often leaves multiple parameters
on the same line. If we later need to add or remove
individual parameters, then it leaves us having to redo
line wrapping.
This commit changes the line wrapping so that every
single "-param value" is one its own new line. If the
"value" is still too long, then we break on ',' or ':'
or ' ' as needed.
This means that when we come to add / remove parameters
from the test files line, the patch diffs will only
ever show a single line added/removed which will greatly
simplify review work.

In order to share as much virsh' logic as possible with upcomming
virt-admin client we need to split virsh logic into virsh specific and
client generic features.
Since majority of virsh methods should be generic enough to be used by
other clients, it's much easier to rename virsh specific data to virshX
than doing this vice versa. It moved generic virsh commands (including info
and opts structures) to generic module vsh.c.
Besides renaming methods and structures, this patch also involves introduction
of a client specific control structure being referenced as private data in the
original control structure, introduction of a new global vsh Initializer,
which currently doesn't do much, but there is a potential for added
functionality in the future.
Lastly it introduced client hooks which are especially necessary during
client connecting phase.
For this to pe properly separated from other protocols used by the
server, there is second server added which allows access to the whole
virNetDaemon to its clients.

Initial scratch of the admin library. It has its own virAdmConnectPtr
that inherits from virAbstractConnectPtr and thus trivially supports
error reporting.
There's pkg-config file added and spec-file adjusted as well.
Since the library should be "minimalistic" and not depend on any other
library, the list of files is especially crafted for it. Most of them
could've been put to it's own sub-libraries that would be LIBADD'd to
libvirt_util, libvirt_net_rpc and libvirt_setuid_rpc_client to minimize
the number of object files being built, but that's a refactoring that
isn't the orginal aim of this commit.

In order not to bring in any link dependencies, bridge driver doesn't
use the usual stubs as other conditionally-built code does. However,
having the function as a macro imposes a problem with possibly unused
variables if just defined as "0". This was worked around by using
(dom=dom, iface=iface, 0) which should act like a 0 if used in a
condition. However, gcc still bugs about that, so I came up with
another way how to fix that.
Using static inline functions in the header won't collide with anything,
it fixes the bug and does one thing that the macro didn't do. It checks
whenther passed variables are pointers of compatible type. It has only
one downside, and that is that we need to either a) define it with
ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, which needs an exception in cfg.mk or b) do something
like ignore_value(variable); in the function body. I went with the
first variant.
