71d3098e59 bootstrap.conf: drop gnulib tests from libvirt
We are in process of removing gnulib and adopting meson as our build
system.  In order to help with the transition let's drop gnulib tests.

This will also help with the fact that before we will be able to drop
gnulib completely we will store output of bootstrap in git.

* send, recv: we use write & read for sockets so don't
   need these portability wrappers
 * ioctl, fcntl, fcntl-h: any usage of these is conditionally
   compiled and excludes Windows
 * ttyname_r: this exists in all supported platforms that
   we require now
 * environ: the tests explicitly declare this global variable
 * intprops: the code has been converted / simplified
 * nonblocking: we have a custom impl now to work with our
   own sockets wrappers
 * openpty: custom checks in configure.ac cope with portability
 * accept, bind, connect, getpeername, getsockname, listen,
   setsockopt, socket: code needing Windows portability uses
   our wrapper functions
 * close: avoids abort when passed invalid FD on Windows.
   Our VIR_FORCE_CLOSE wrapper avoids calling close(-1)
   and it is reasonable to abort in other scenarios in
   the RPC client
 * physmem: the gnulib code has been partially imported
 * warnings, manywarnings: copy the files directly into
   our local m4 dir
 * verify: replaced by G_STATIC_ASSERT
 * pthread_sigmask: none of the fixed portability problems
   affect libvirt's usage on current supported platforms
 * termios: the header is now conditionally included only
   when needed
 * time_r: replaced with GDateTime APIs

9b80e0c12a util: drop support for stack traces with logging
The log filters have supported the use of a "+" before the source match
string to request that a stack trace be emitted for every log message:

  commit 548563956e
  Author: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
  Date:   Wed May 9 15:18:56 2012 +0100

    Allow stack traces to be included with log messages

    Sometimes it is useful to see the callpath for log messages.
    This change enhances the log filter syntax so that stack traces
    can be show by setting '1:+NAME' instead of '1:NAME'.

With the huge & ever increasing number of logging statements per file,
this will be incredibly verbose and have a major performance penalty.
This makes the feature impractical to use widely and as such it is not
worth the code maint cost.

Removing this seldom used feature allows us to drop the 'execinfo'
module in gnulib which provides the backtrace() function which doesn't
exist on non-Linux.

Users who want to get stack traces of parts of libvirt can use GDB,
or systemtap for live tracing with minimal perf impact.

ce97c33a79 maint: Stop generating ChangeLog from git
Our ChangeLog is generated by basically redirecting the output
of 'git log' into it so, as can be expected, it has only gotten
bigger as development has progressed. As of today, its size has
reached pretty much comical levels:

  $ du -sk ChangeLog
  11328 ChangeLog

All of that for information *literally nobody* cares about: end
users and distro maintainers have proper release notes lovingly
compiled for them, while developers peruse the history either by
calling 'git log' directly or through their favorite $EDITOR's
git integration.

Replacing the generated ChangeLog with a short message pointing
interested parties to the git repository does not only reduce
the size of the unpacked sources from 259904 KiB to 248576 KiB
(~4% saving): from a quick test on my laptop, doing so reduces
the size of the *compressed* release archive from 15140 KiB to
12364 KiB (~18% saving) and also takes the time needed to run
'make distcheck' down from 4:44 to 4:21 (~8% saving).

Now that we have strong PRNG generator implemented in

Problem with the latter is in way we seed it: current UNIX time

Imagine two hosts booting at the same time. There's a fair chance
that those hosts spawn libvirtds at the same time and with the
same PID. This will result in both daemons generating the same
sequence of say MAC addresses [1].

799011bbe7 vircrypto: Rely on GnuTLS for hash functions
Ditch the use of gnulib's digest functions in favor of GnuTLS,
which might be more likely to get FIPS-certified.

c0a8ea450d po: provide custom make rules for po file management
Historically we have relied on autopoint/gettextize to install a
standard po/Makefile.in.in. There is very limited scope for customizing
this and it also causes a bunch of extra stuff to be pulled into
configure.ac which potentially clashes with gnulib. Writing make rules
for po file management is no more difficult than any other rules libvirt
has, so stop using autopoint/gettextize.

ad9e72f5fa hvsupport: use a regex instead of XML::XPath
When generating the hvsupport.html.in file, we parse the -api.xml
files generated by apibuild.py to know in which HTML file the API
function is.

Doing an XPath query for every single 'function' element in the
file is inefficient.

Since the XML file is generated by another of our build scripts
(apibuild.py, using Python's standard 'output.write' XML library),
just find the function name->file mapping by a regex upfront.

Also add a note about this next to the line that generates it
in apibuild.py and do not check if XML::XPath is installed in
bootstrap since we no longer use it.
