The libvirt_private.syms file exports virNetlinkEventServiceLocalPid
so there needs to be a no-op stub for Win32 to avoid linker errors

This value will be needed to set the src_pid when sending netlink
messages to lldpad. It is part of the solution to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816465
Note that libnl's port generation algorithm guarantees that the
nl_socket_get_local_port() will always be > 0 (since it is "getpid() +
(n << 22>" where n is always < 1024), so it is okay to cast the
uint32_t to int (thus allowing us to use -1 as an error sentinel).
Until now, virNetlinkCommand has assumed that the nl_pid in the source
address of outgoing netlink messages should always be the return value
of getpid(). In most cases it actually doesn't matter, but in the case
of communication with lldpad, lldpad saves this info and later uses it
to send netlink messages back to libvirt. A recent patch to fix Bug
816465 changed the order of the universe such that the netlink event
service socket is no longer bound with nl_pid == getpid(), so lldpad
could no longer send unsolicited messages to libvirtd. Adding src_pid
as an argument to virNetlinkCommand() is the first step in notifying
lldpad of the proper address of the netlink event service socket.
These two functions are called from main() on all platforms, and
always return success on platforms that don't support libnl. They
still log an error message, though, which doesn't make sense - they
should just be NOPs on those platforms. (Per a suggestion during
review, I've turned the logs into debug messages rather than removing
them completely).
configure.ac: check for libnl-3 in addition to libnl-1
src/Makefile.am: link against libnl when needed
src/util/virnetlink.c:
support libnl3 api. To minimize impact on code flow, wrap the
differences under the virNetlink* namespace.
Unfortunately libnl3 moves netlink/msg.h to
/usr/include/libnl3/netlink/msg.h, so the LIBNL_CFLAGS need to be added
to a bunch of places where they weren't needed with libnl1.

Some of the error messages in this function should have been
virReportSystemError (since they have an errno they want to log), but
were mistakenly written as netlinkError, which expects a libvirt error
code instead. The result was that when one of the errors was
encountered, "No error message provided" would be printed instead of
something meaningful (see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816465 for an example).
When libvirtd is restarted, also restart the netlink event
message callbacks for existing VEPA connections and send
a message to lldpad for these existing links, so it learns
the new libvirtd pid.

Return statements with parameter enclosed in parentheses were modified
and parentheses were removed. The whole change was scripted, here is how:
List of files was obtained using this command:
git grep -l -e '\<return\s*([^()]*\(([^()]*)[^()]*\)*)\s*;' | \
grep -e '\.[ch]$' -e '\.py$'
Found files were modified with this command:
sed -i -e \
's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\(\([^()]*([^()]*)[^()]*\)*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\4_' \
-e 's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\([^()]*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\3_'
Then checked for nonsense.
The whole command looks like this:
git grep -l -e '\<return\s*([^()]*\(([^()]*)[^()]*\)*)\s*;' | \
grep -e '\.[ch]$' -e '\.py$' | xargs sed -i -e \
's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\(\([^()]*([^()]*)[^()]*\)*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\4_' \
-e 's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\([^()]*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\3_'
There are special stub versions of all public functions in this file
that are compiled when either libnl isn't available or the platform
isn't linux. Each of these functions had two almost identical message,
differing only in the function name included in the message. Since log
messages already contain the function name, we can just define a const
char* with the common part of the string, and use that same string for
all the log messages.
Also, rather than doing #if defined ... #else ... #endif *inside the
error log macro invocation*, this patch does #if defined ... just
once, using it to decide which single string to define. This turns the
error log in each function from 6 lines, to 1 line.
This code adds a netlink event interface to libvirt.
It is based upon the event_poll code and makes use of
it. An event is generated for each netlink message sent
to the libvirt pid.

Rename the src/util/netlink files to src/util/virnetlink to
better fit the naming scheme. Also rename nlComm to virNetlinkCommand.
