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.

Christophe Fergeau 13fdc6d63e Tie SASL callbacks lifecycle to virNetSessionSASLContext
The array of sasl_callback_t callbacks which is passed to sasl_client_new()
must be kept alive as long as the created sasl_conn_t object is alive as
cyrus-sasl uses this structure internally for things like logging, so
the memory used for callbacks must only be freed after sasl_dispose() has
been called.

During testing of successful SASL logins with
virsh -c qemu+tls:///system list --all
I've been getting invalid read reports from valgrind

This commit changes virNetSASLSessionNewClient() to take ownership of the SASL
callbacks. Then we can free them in virNetSASLSessionDispose() after the corresponding
sasl_conn_t has been freed.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
