We started using G_GNUC macros instead of ATTRIBUTE for some attributes.
Adjust this syntax-check accordingly.

Quite a few of the tests have a need to mock the stat() / lstat()
functions and they are taking somewhat different & inconsistent
approaches none of which are actually fully correct. This is shown
by fact that 'make check' fails on 32-bit hosts. Investigation
revealed that the code was calling into the native C library impl,
not getting intercepted by our mocks.
The POSIX stat() function might resolve to any number of different
symbols in the C library.
The may be an additional stat64() function exposed by the headers
too.
On 64-bit hosts the stat & stat64 functions are identical, always
refering to the 64-bit ABI.
On 32-bit hosts they refer to the 32-bit & 64-bit ABIs respectively.
Libvirt uses _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 on 32-bit hosts, which causes the
C library to transparently rewrite stat() calls to be stat64() calls.
Libvirt will never see the 32-bit ABI from the traditional stat()
call. We cannot assume this rewriting is done using a macro. It might
be, but on GLibC it is done with a magic __asm__ statement to apply
the rewrite at link time instead of at preprocessing.
In GLibC there may be two additional functions exposed by the headers,
__xstat() and __xstat64(). When these exist, stat() and stat64() are
transparently rewritten to call __xstat() and __xstat64() respectively.
The former symbols will not actally exist in the library at all, only
the header. The leading "__" indicates the symbols are a private impl
detail of the C library that applications should not care about.
Unfortunately, because we are trying to mock replace the C library,
we need to know about this internal impl detail.
With all this in mind the list of functions we have to mock will depend
on several factors
- If _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is set, then we are on a 32-bit host, and we
only need to mock stat64 and __xstat64. The other stat / __xstat
functions exist, but we'll never call them so they can be ignored
for mocking.
- If _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is not set, then we are on a 64-bit host and
we should mock stat, stat64, __xstat & __xstat64. Either may be
called by app code.
- If __xstat & __xstat64 exist, then stat & stat64 will not exist
as symbols in the library, so the latter should not be mocked.
The same all applies to lstat()
These rules are complex enough that we don't want to duplicate them
across every mock file, so this centralizes all the logic in a helper
file virmockstathelper.c that should be #included when needed. The
code merely need to provide a filename rewriting callback called
virMockStatRedirect(). Optionally VIR_MOCK_STAT_HOOK can be defined
as a macro if further processing is needed inline.

This is particularly useful on operating systems that don't ship
Perl as part of the base system (eg. FreeBSD) while still working
just as well as it did before on Linux.
In one case (src/rpc/genprotocol.pl) the interpreter path was
missing altogether.

This reverts commit e4b980c853.
When a binary links against a .a archive (as opposed to a shared library),
any symbols which are marked as 'weak' get silently dropped. As a result
when the binary later runs, those 'weak' functions have an address of
0x0 and thus crash when run.
This happened with virtlogd and virtlockd because they don't link to
libvirt.so, but instead just libvirt_util.a and libvirt_rpc.a. The
virRandomBits symbols was weak and so left out of the virtlogd &
virtlockd binaries, despite being required by virHashTable functions.
Various other binaries like libvirt_lxc, libvirt_iohelper, etc also
link directly to .a files instead of libvirt.so, so are potentially
at risk of dropping symbols leading to a later runtime crash.
This is normal linker behaviour because a weak symbol is not treated
as undefined, so nothing forces it to be pulled in from the .a You
have to force the linker to pull in weak symbols using -u$SYMNAME
which is not a practical approach.
This risk is silent bad linkage that affects runtime behaviour is
not acceptable for a fix that was merely trying to fix the test
suite. So stop using __weak__ again.

Currently all mockable functions are annotated with the 'noinline'
attribute. This is insufficient to guarantee that a function can
be reliably mocked with an LD_PRELOAD. The C language spec allows
the compiler to assume there is only a single implementation of
each function. It can thus do things like propagating constant
return values into the caller at compile time, or creating
multiple specialized copies of the function body each optimized
for a different caller. To prevent these optimizations we must
also set the 'noclone' and 'weak' attributes.
This fixes the test suite when libvirt.so is built with CLang
with optimization enabled.

CLang's optimizer is more aggressive at inlining functions than
gcc and so will often inline functions that our tests want to
mock-override. This causes the test to fail in bizarre ways.
We don't want to disable inlining completely, but we must at
least prevent inlining of mocked functions. Fortunately there
is a 'noinline' attribute that lets us control this per function.
A syntax check rule is added that parses tests/*mock.c to extract
the list of functions that are mocked (restricted to names starting
with 'vir' prefix). It then checks that src/*.h header file to
ensure it has a 'ATTRIBUTE_NOINLINE' annotation. This should prevent
use from bit-rotting in future.
