5bcd96f531 tests: Introduce nsslinktest
The only purpose of this test is to catch possible linking
problems with libnss_libvirt.so.2.
One of the problems I faced was that the NSS plugin was unloaded
immediately after it got loaded and the name resolution process
continued with next configured option. Without any error. It was
very hard to debug why until I created this simple test and found
out immediately that there were some symbols missing. The reason
why problem was not caught in nsstest is that in the test we want
to use all the fancy stuff and therefore link it with libvirt.la.
So even if there's a symbol missing in the NSS plugin it will be
found in the libvirt.la.
But even after I resolved the issue we still need this test
because files the NSS plugin is built from are still live (mostly
those under utils/ dir). So as they change new symbol might be
required which would render the NSS plugin unusable.
