remove all traces of lokkit support
Long ago we tried to use Fedora's lokkit utility in order to register our iptables rules so that 'service iptables restart' would automatically load our rules. There was one fatal flaw - if the user had configured iptables without lokkit, then we would clobber that configuration by running lokkit. We quickly disabled lokkit support, but never removed it. Let's do that now. The 'my virtual network stops working when I restart iptables' still remains. For all the background on this saga, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/227011 * src/util/iptables.c: remove lokkit support * configure.in: remove --enable-lokkit * libvirt.spec.in: remove the dirs used only for saving rules for lokkit * src/Makefile.am: ditto * src/libvirt_private.syms, src/network/bridge_driver.c, src/util/iptables.h: remove references to iptablesSaveRules
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.

Description
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.
