cc5e2a849c command: improve behavior on no output
Guarantee that outbuf/errbuf are allocated on success, even if to the
empty string.  Caller always has to free the result, and empty output
check requires checking if *outbuf=='\0'.  Makes the API easier to use
safely.  Failure is best effort allocation (some paths, like
out-of-memory, cannot allocate a buffer, but most do), so caller must
free buffer on failure.

* docs/internals/command.html.in: Update documentation.
* src/util/command.c (virCommandSetOutputBuffer)
(virCommandSetErrorBuffer, virCommandProcessIO) Guarantee empty
string on no output.
* tests/commandtest.c (test17): New test.

ee11729d7f command: enforce fd vs. buffer considerations
* docs/internals/command.html.in: Better documentation of buffer
vs. fd considerations.
* src/util/command.c (virCommandRunAsync): Reject raw execution
with string io.

visiting a regular file.

code.
(virCommandToString, virCommandRun, virCommandRunAsync)

85ccf42cd0 util: Fix bug which will cause libvirtd crash
"virCommandRun": if "cmd->outbuf" or "cmd->errbuf" is NULL,
libvirtd will be crashed when trying to start a qemu domain
(which invokes "virCommandRun"), it caused by we try to use
"*cmd->outbuf" and "*cmd->errbuf" regardless of cmd->outbuf
or cmd->errbuf is NULL.

* src/util/command.c (virCommandRun)

f16ad06fb2 Introduce new APIs for spawning processes
This introduces a new set of APIs in src/util/command.h
to use for invoking commands. This is intended to replace
all current usage of virRun and virExec variants, with a
more flexible and less error prone API.

* src/util/command.c: New file.
* src/util/command.h: New header.
* src/Makefile.am (UTIL_SOURCES): Build it.
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export symbols internally.
* tests/commandtest.c: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (check_PROGRAMS): Run it.
* tests/commandhelper.c: Auxiliary program.
* tests/commanddata/test2.log - test15.log: New expected outputs.
* cfg.mk (useless_free_options): Add virCommandFree.
(msg_gen_function): Add virCommandError.
* po/POTFILES.in: New translation.
* .x-sc_avoid_write: Add exemption.
* tests/.gitignore: Ignore new built file.
