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 IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,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

This patch enables the password authentication in the libssh2 connection
driver. There are a few benefits to this step:
1) Hosts with challenge response authentication will now be supported
with the libssh2 connection driver.
2) Credential for hosts can now be stored in the authentication
credential config file

The libssh2 code wasn't supposed to create the known_hosts file, but
recent findings show, that we can't use the default created by OpenSSH
as libssh2 might damage it. We need to create a private known_hosts file
in the config path.
This patch adds support for skipping error if the known_hosts file is
not present and let libssh2 create a new one.
This patch adds helper functions that enable us to use libssh2 in
conjunction with libvirt's virNetSockets for ssh transport instead of
spawning "ssh" client process.
This implemetation supports tunneled plaintext, keyboard-interactive,
private key, ssh agent based and null authentication. Libvirt's Auth
callback is used for interaction with the user. (Keyboard interactive
authentication, adding of host keys, private key passphrases). This
enables seamless integration into the application using libvirt. No
helpers as "ssh-askpass" are needed.
Reading and writing of OpenSSH style "known_hosts" files is supported.
Communication is done using SSH exec channel, where the user may specify
arbitrary command to be executed on the remote side and reads and writes
to/from stdin/out are sent through the ssh channel. Usage of stderr is
not (yet) supported.
