Eric Blake 29e57f770b build: honor autogen.sh --no-git 
Based on a report by Chandrashekar Shastri, at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=979360

On systems where git cannot access the outside world, a developer
can instead arrange to get a copy of gnulib at the right commit
via side channels (such as NFS share drives), set GNULIB_SRCDIR,
then use ./autogen.sh --no-git.  In this setup, we will now
avoid direct use of git.  Of course, this means no automatic
gnulib updates when libvirt.git updates its submodule, but it
is expected that any developer in such a situation is already
prepared to deal with the fallout.

* .gnulib: Update to latest, for bootstrap.
* bootstrap: Synchronize from gnulib.
* autogen.sh (no_git): Avoid git when requested.
* cfg.mk (_update_required): Skip automatic rerun of bootstrap if
we can't use git.
* docs/compiling.html.in: Document this setup.
* docs/hacking.html.in: Mention this.
* HACKING: Regenerate.

         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.
