Peter Krempa 1553e72567 virBufferAdd: Ensure that the buffer is initialized also when len == 0
There's an optimization in virBufferAdd which returns early when the
length of the added string is 0 (given that auto-indent is disabled).

The optimization causes inconsistent behaviour between these two cases:

 virBufferAdd(buf, "", 0);  // this doesn't initialize the buffer

and

 virBufferAdd(buf, "", -1); //this initializes the buffer

Since using an empty string is used to prime the buffer to an empty
string it can be confusing. Remove the optimization.

This fixes such a wrong initialization done in x86FeatureNames.

Note that our code in many places expects that if no virBuffer APIs are
used on a buffer object, then NULL should be retured, so we can't always
prime the buffer to an empty string.

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.
