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.

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 IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,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

Introduce a lock_daemon_dispatch.c file which implements the
server side dispatcher the RPC APIs previously defined in the
lock protocol.

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
