Historically, we declared pointer type to our types:
typedef struct _virXXX virXXX;
typedef virXXX *virXXXPtr;
But usefulness of such declaration is questionable, at best.
Unfortunately, we can't drop every such declaration - we have to
carry some over, because they are part of public API (e.g.
virDomainPtr). But for internal types - we can do drop them and
use what every other C project uses 'virXXX *'.
This change was generated by a very ugly shell script that
generated sed script which was then called over each file in the
repository. For the shell script refer to the cover letter:

Currently setting max_len=0 causes virtlogd to spin in a busy loop. It
is natural to allow this to disable log rollover which can be useful for
developers debugging things.
Note disabling rollover exposes the host to denial of service from a
malicious guest, so must be used with care.

We have this very handy macro called VIR_STEAL_PTR() which steals
one pointer into the other and sets the other to NULL. The
following coccinelle patch was used to create this commit:
@ rule1 @
identifier a, b;
@@
- b = a;
...
- a = NULL;
+ VIR_STEAL_PTR(b, a);
Some places were clean up afterwards to make syntax-check happy
(e.g. some curly braces were removed where the body become a one
liner).

Seeing a log message saying 'flags=93' is ambiguous & confusing unless
you happen to know that libvirt always prints flags as hex. Change our
debug messages so that they always add a '0x' prefix when printing flags,
and '0' prefix when printing mode. A few other misc places gain a '0x'
prefix in error messages too.

The log file descriptor associated with the virRotatingFile
struct should be marked close-on-exec, as even when virtlogd
re-exec's itself it expect to open the log file fresh. It
does not need to preserve the logfile handles, only the network
client FDs.

If for some reason there is an existing log file, that is larger then
max length of log file, we need to rollover that file immediately.
Trying to figure out how much data we could write will resolve in
overflow of unsigned variable 'towrite' and this leads to segfault.

Add virRotatingFileReader and virRotatingFileWriter objects
which allow reading & writing from/to files with automation
rotation to N backup files when a size limit is reached. This
is useful for guest logging when a guaranteed finite size
limit is required. Use of external tools like logrotate is
inadequate since it leaves the possibility for guest to DOS
the host in between invokations of logrotate.
