Ideally, a software that's translating domain names would iterate
over all addresses the NSS returned, but some software does not
bother (e.g. ping). What happens is that for instance when
installing a guest, it's assigned one IP address but once it's
installed and rebooted it gets a different IP address (because
client ID used for the first DHCP traffic when installing the
guest was generated dynamically and never saved so after reboot
the guest generated new ID which resulted in different IP address
to be assigned). This results in 'ping $domain' not working
properly as it still pings the old IP address. Well, it might -
NSS plugin does not guarantee any order of addresses.
To resolve this problem, we can sort the array just before
returning it to the caller (ping) so that the newer IP addresses
come before older ones.

In the nss plugin we have ERROR() macro which by default does
nothing. However, at compile time it can be made to report errors
(this is useful for debugging because by nature of NSS debugging
is hard). Anyway, the appendAddr() function uses @name (which
contains name the caller wants us to resolve) for error
reporting. But the caller findLeaseInJSON() is not passing it.

When dealing with internal paths we don't need to worry about
whether or not suffixes are lowercase since we have full control
over them, which means we can avoid performing case-insensitive
string comparisons.

Despite its name, this is really just a general-purpose string
manipulation function, so it should be moved to the virstring
module and renamed accordingly.
In addition to the obvious s/File/String/, also tweak the name
to make it clear that the presence of the suffix is verified
using case-insensitive comparison.
A few trivial whitespace changes are squashed in.

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 IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,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

Rather than have virJSONValueArraySize return a -1 when the input
is not an array and then splat an error message, let's check for
an array before calling and then change the return to be a size_t
instead of ssize_t.
That means using the helper virJSONValueIsArray as well as using a
more generic error message such as "Malformed <something> array".
In some cases we can remove stack variables and when we cannot,
those variables should be size_t not ssize_t. Alter a few references
of if (!value) to be if (value == 0) instead as well.
Some callers can already assume an array is being worked on based
on the previous call, so there's less to do.

Right-aligning backslashes when defining macros or using complex
commands in Makefiles looks cute, but as soon as any changes is
required to the code you end up with either distractingly broken
alignment or unnecessarily big diffs where most of the changes
are just pushing all backslashes a few characters to one side.

In my previous commit of b1d87f9ad9 I've made a typo breaking
the FreeBSD build. s/ipAaddr/ipAddr/

The recent deprecation in glibc (commit b76e065991ec) means the
module will fail to build entirely:
nss/libvirt_nss.c: In function '_nss_libvirt_gethostbyname_r':
nss/libvirt_nss.c:363:13: error: RES_USE_INET6 is deprecated [-Werror]
int af = ((_res.options & RES_USE_INET6) ? AF_INET6 : AF_INET);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This resolver option was removed shortly after being introduced,
and application using it are already broken anyway.
If the 'nleases < 0' on return, then the subsequent call to
findLeaseInJSON will not produce the expected results (passed
in as a size_t, but nleases is a ssize_t). So check if the
returned value < 0 and if so, goto cleanup.

So far the NSS module looks up only hostnames as provided by
guests themselves. However, there are some cases where this is
not enough: e.g. when there's a fresh new guest being installed
(with some generic hostname) say from a live ISO image; or some
(older) systems don't advertise their hostname in DHCP
transactions at all.
In cases like that it would be helpful if we translate domain
name as seen by libvirt too so that users can:
# virsh start $dom && ssh $dom
In order to achieve that new libvirt-guest module is introduced,
while older libvirt module maintains its current behaviour (that
is translating guest provided names into IP addresses).

The name of the exported functions for an NSS module is quite
fixed, it is derived from the module name:
_nss_$module_$function
Since we will create another NSS module with very similar
implementation we might as well generate the function names at

Name Service Switch is a glibc feature responsible for many
things. Translating domain names into IP addresses and vice versa
is just one of them. However, currently it's the only
functionality that this commit is tickling. Well, in this commit
the plugin skeleton is introduced. Implementation to come in next
patches.
Because of the future testing, where the implementation is to be
linked with a test, this needs to go into static library. Linking
a program with an .so statically is not portable. Therefore a
dummy libnss_libvirt_impl library is being introduced too.
