568a417224 Enforce a standard header file guard symbol name
Require that all headers are guarded by a symbol named

  LIBVIRT_$FILENAME

where $FILENAME is the uppercased filename, with all characters
outside a-z changed into '_'.

Note we do not use a leading __ because that is technically a
namespace reserved for the toolchain.

4cfd709021 Fix many mistakes & inconsistencies in header file layout
This introduces a syntax-check script that validates header files use a
common layout:

  /*
   ...copyright header...
   */
  <one blank line>
  #ifndef SYMBOL
  # define SYMBOL
  ....content....
  #endif /* SYMBOL */

For any file ending priv.h, before the #ifndef, we will require a
guard to prevent bogus imports:

  #ifndef SYMBOL_ALLOW
  # error ....
  #endif /* SYMBOL_ALLOW */
  <one blank line>

The many mistakes this script identifies are then fixed.

600462834f Remove all Author(s): lines from source file headers
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 IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,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.

898c0bbea7 headers: Remove unnecessary keyword extern from function declaration
Usage of this keyword in front of function declaration that is exported via a
header file is unnecessary, since internally, this has been the default for most
compilers for quite some time.

9b9d7704b5 Change file names in comments to match the files they are in
Some of these are leftovers from renaming the files, others
are just typos.

Also introduce an ugly awk script to enforce this.

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html recommends that
the 'If not, see <url>.' phrase be a separate sentence.

* tests/securityselinuxhelper.c: Remove doubled line.
* tests/securityselinuxtest.c: Likewise.
* globally: s/;  If/.  If/

f9ce7dad60 Desert the FSF address in copyright
Per the FSF address could be changed from time to time, and GNU
recommends the following now: (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html)

  You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
  along with Foobar.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

This patch removes the explicit FSF address, and uses above instead
(of course, with inserting 'Lesser' before 'General').

Except a bunch of files for security driver, all others are changed
automatically, the copyright for securify files are not complete,
that's why to do it manually:

  src/security/security_selinux.h
  src/security/security_driver.h
  src/security/security_selinux.c
  src/security/security_apparmor.h
  src/security/security_apparmor.c
  src/security/security_driver.c
