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 IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,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

It doesn't really make sense for us to have stdlib.h and string.h but
not stdio.h in the internal.h header.

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.

Otherwise we fail on 32bit with:
CC logging/virtlogd-log_daemon_dispatch.o
logging/log_daemon_dispatch.c: In function 'virLogManagerProtocolDispatchDomainReadLogFile':
logging/log_daemon_dispatch.c:120:9: error: format '%zu' expects argument of type 'size_t', but argument 7 has type 'uint64_t' [-Werror=format]
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.
