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 IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,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

Introduce annotations to all RPC messages to declare what
access control checks are required. There are two new
annotations defined:
@acl: <object>:<permission>
@acl: <object>:<permission>:<flagname>
Declare the access control requirements for the API. May be repeated
multiple times, if multiple rules are required.
<object> is one of 'connect', 'domain', 'network', 'storagepool',
'interface', 'nodedev', 'secret'.
<permission> is one of the permissions in access/viraccessperm.h
<flagname> indicates the rule only applies if the named flag
is set in the API call
@aclfilter: <object>:<permission>
Declare an access control filter that will be applied to a list
of objects being returned by an API. This allows the returned
list to be filtered to only show those the user has permissions
against

Currently the RPC protocol files can contain annotations after
the protocol enum eg
REMOTE_PROC_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_CHILDREN_NAMES = 247, /* autogen autogen priority:high */
This is not very extensible as the number of annotations grows.
Change it to use
/**
* @generate: both
* @priority: high
*/
REMOTE_PROC_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_CHILDREN_NAMES = 247,
