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 IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,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

Add a virtlockd-admin-sock can serves the admin protocol for the virtlockd
daemon and define a virtlockd:///{system,session} URI scheme for
connecting to it.

In our config files users are expected to pass several integer values
for different configuration knobs. However, majority of them expect a
nonnegative number and only a few of them accept a negative number too
(notably keepalive_interval in libvirtd.conf).
Therefore, a new type to config value is introduced: VIR_CONF_ULONG
that is set whenever an integer is positive or zero. With this
approach knobs accepting VIR_CONF_LONG should accept VIR_CONF_ULONG
too.

A earlier commit changed the global log buffer so that it only
records messages that are explicitly requested via the log
filters setting. This removes the performance burden, and
improves the signal/noise ratio for messages in the global
buffer. At the same time though, it is somewhat pointless, since
all the recorded log messages are already going to be sent to an
explicit log output like syslog, stderr or the journal. The
global log buffer is thus just duplicating this data on stderr
upon crash.
The log_buffer_size config parameter is left in the augeas
lens to prevent breakage for users on upgrade. It is however
completely ignored hereafter.

Any source file which calls the logging APIs now needs
to have a VIR_LOG_INIT("source.name") declaration at
the start of the file. This provides a static variable
of the virLogSource type.

Each new VM requires a new connection from libvirtd to virtlockd.
The default max clients limit in virtlockd of 20 is thus woefully
insufficient. virtlockd sockets are only accessible to matching
users, so there is no security need for such a tight limit. Make
it configurable and default to 1024.

The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
The virtlockd daemon will maintain locks on behalf of libvirtd.
There are two reasons for it to be separate
- Avoid risk of other libvirtd threads accidentally
releasing fcntl() locks by opening + closing a file
that is locked
- Ensure locks can be preserved across libvirtd restarts.
virtlockd will need to be able to re-exec itself while
maintaining locks. This is simpler to achieve if its
sole job is maintaining locks
