Historically, we declared pointer type to our types:
typedef struct _virXXX virXXX;
typedef virXXX *virXXXPtr;
But usefulness of such declaration is questionable, at best.
Unfortunately, we can't drop every such declaration - we have to
carry some over, because they are part of public API (e.g.
virDomainPtr). But for internal types - we can do drop them and
use what every other C project uses 'virXXX *'.
This change was generated by a very ugly shell script that
generated sed script which was then called over each file in the
repository. For the shell script refer to the cover letter:

Our implementation was heavily inspired by the glib version so it's a
drop-in replacement.

Both accept a NULL value gracefully and virStringFreeList
does not zero the pointer afterwards, so a straight replace
is safe.

This function frees a _virFirmware struct. So far, it doesn't
need to be called from outside of the module, but this will
change shortly. In the light of recent VIR_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_FUNC()
additions, do the same to virFirmwareFree().

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 IOW, the Author: comments are quickly out of date,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

We have couple of functions that operate over NULL terminated
lits of strings. However, our naming sucks:
virStringJoin
virStringFreeList
virStringFreeListCount
virStringArrayHasString
virStringGetFirstWithPrefix
We can do better:
virStringListJoin
virStringListFree
virStringListFreeCount
virStringListHasString
virStringListGetFirstWithPrefix

The virQEMUDriverConfig object contains lists of
loader:nvram pairs to advertise firmwares supported by
by the driver, and qemu_conf.c contains code to populate
the lists, all of which is useful for other drivers too.
To avoid code duplication, introduce a virFirmware object
to encapsulate firmware details and switch the qemu driver
to use it.
