Andrea Bolognani 54eaf639a5 docs: Release notes should be updated in a separate commit
Updating docs/news.xml in the same commit that performs the
documented change makes backports needlessly complicated,
both for mainteinance branches and downstream distributions,
because it introduces additional potential for merge
conflicts.

Document in the contributor guidelines that the release notes
should be updated in a separate commit instead, so that it's
easy to backport just the code change.

         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.
