Erik Skultety 07a8556076 ci: build.sh: Add a wrapper function over the 'potfile' job
This helper is a shell function transcript of its original GitLab CI
counterpart. There's one notable difference such that we pass '-j1' to
the meson compile command otherwise we'd have to execute the 'run_build'
function twice, passing 'libvirt-pot-dep' and 'libvirt-pot' targets
in a serial manner.

Libvirt API for virtualization

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
