Daniel P. Berrange 6df7d55d39 Fix up python bindings for new event callbacks
The generator was disabled for the new event callbacks, since they
need to be hand written. This patch  adds the C and python glue to
expose the new APIs in the python binding. The python example
program is extended to demonstrate of the code

* python/libvirt-override.c: Registration and dispatch of events
   at the C layer
* python/libvirt-override-virConnect.py: Python glue for events
* examples/domain-events/events-python/event-test.py: Demo use
  of new event callbacks

    libvirt Python Bindings README
    ==============================

Most of the libvirt python binding code is automatically generated
using the script  generator.py, and the API description from
docs/libvirt-api.xml


Manually written files:

 - libvirt-override.c: methods where the C binding needs to be hand crafted
 - libvirt-override.py: global methods where the C and python bindings have different args
 - libvirt-override-api.xml: methods where the auto-extracted API docs are not
   suitable for python auto-generator. Overriding this if the method is going
   into libvirt-override.c, but we still want auto-generated libvirt-override.py
 - libvirt-override-virConnect.py: virConnect class methods
 - typewrappers.h,.c: Python object wrappers for each libvirt C object


Auto-generated files:

  - libvirt.py: The main python binding. Comprises auto-generated code, along
    with contents from libvirt-override.py and libvirt-override-virConnect.py
  - libvirt.c, libvirt.h: The C glue layer for the python binding. Comprises
    auto-generated code, along with libvirt-override.c
  - libvirt-export.c: List of auto-generated C methods, included into
    the libvirt-override.c method table
