64eca3d5e3 virinitctl: Expose fifo paths and allow caller to chose one
So far the virInitctlSetRunLevel() is fully automatic. It finds
the correct fifo to use to talk to the init and it will set the
desired runlevel. Well, callers (so far there is just one) will
need to inspect the fifo a bit just before the runlevel is set.
Therefore, expose the internal list of fifos and also allow
caller to explicitly use one.

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 IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,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

1b14c449b8 util: use typedefs for enums in "src/util/" directory
In "src/util/" there are many enumeration (enum) declarations.
Sometimes, it's better using a typedef for variable types,
function types and other usages. Other enumeration will be
changed to typedef's in the future.

aebbcdd33c CVE-2013-6456: Avoid unsafe use of /proc/$PID/root in LXC shutdown/reboot code
Use helper virProcessRunInMountNamespace in lxcDomainShutdownFlags and
lxcDomainReboot.  Otherwise, a malicious guest could use symlinks
to force the host to manipulate the wrong file in the host's namespace.

c4ef575c97 Add APIs for talking to init via /dev/initctl
To be able todo controlled shutdown/reboot of containers an
API to talk to init via /dev/initctl is required. Fortunately
this is quite straightforward to implement, and is supported
by both sysvinit and systemd. Upstart support for /dev/initctl
is unclear.
