This new function can be used to check if e.g. name of XML
node don't contains forbidden chars like "/" or "\n".

When user tries to insert element metadata providing a namespace
declaration as well, currently we insert the element without any validation
check for XML prefix (if provided). The next VM start would then
fail with parse error. This patch fixes this issue by adding a call to
xmlValidateNCName function to check for illegal characters in the
prefix.

If the XML_PARSE_NOENT flag is passed to libxml2, then any
entities in the input document will be fully expanded. This
allows the user to read arbitrary files on the host machine
by creating an entity pointing to a local file. Removing
the XML_PARSE_NOENT flag means that any entities are left
unchanged by the parser, or expanded to "" by the XPath
APIs.

A "xmlstr" string may not be assigned into a "doc" pointer and it
could cause memory leak. To fix it if the "doc" pointer is NULL and
the "xmlstr" string is not assigned we should free it.

The virDomainGetMetadata function was designed to support also retrieval
of app specific metadata from the <metadata> element. This functionality
was never implemented originally.
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.
