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.

Guannan Ren 4b143ab231 python: fix bindings that don't raise an exception 
For example:
 >>> dom.memoryStats()
 libvir: QEMU Driver error : Requested operation is not valid:\
         domain is not running

There are six such python API functions like so.
The root reason is that generator.py script checks the type of return
value of a python stub function defined in libvirt-api.xml or
libvirt-override-api.xml to see whether to add the raise clause or not
in python wrapper code in libvirt.py.

The type of return value is supposed to be C types.
For those stub functions which return python non-integer data type like
string, list, tuple, dictionary, the existing type in functions varies
from each other which leads problem like this.

Currently, in generator.py, it maintains a buggy whitelist for stub functions
returning a list type. I think it is easy to forget adding new function name
in the whitelist.

This patch makes the value of type consistent with C type "char *"
in libvirt-override-api.xml. For python, any of types could be printed
as string, so I choose "char *" in this case. And the comment in xml
could explain it when adding new function definition.

      <function name='virNodeGetCPUStats' file='python'>
        ...
 -      <return type='virNodeCPUStats' info='...'/>
 +      <return type='char *' info='...'/>
        ...
      </function>

         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.
