maint: update to latest gnulib
Future patches need LGPLv2+ versions of some modules that had recent license changes; but separating the gnulib update from the actual use of the modules makes it easier to backport to an older version while avoiding a submodule update (assuming, of course, that the backport is to a system where glibc provides adequate functionaliy without needing the gnulib module). * .gnulib: Update to latest, for modules needed in later patches.

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.

virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
