Michal Privoznik 61a12ffe08 vircgroupmock: Be wiser about detecting fakerootdir change
The way that vircgroupmock works is that the vircgrouptest
creates a temporary directory and sets LIBVIRT_FAKE_ROOT_DIR env
variable which is then checked by the mock at the beginning of
basically every function it overrides (access(), stat in all its
flavours, mkdir(), etc.). The mock then creates a CGroup dir
structure. But the test is allowed to change the directory, to
accommodate environment for the particular test case. This is
done by changing the environment variable which is then detected
by the mock and the whole process repeats.

However, the way the mock detect changes is buggy. After it got
the environment variable it compares it to the last known value
(global variable @fakerootdir) and if they don't match the last
known value is set to point to the new value. Problem is that the
result of getenv() is assigned to the @fakerootdir directly.
Therefore, @fakerootdir points somewhere into the buffer of
environment variables. In turn, when the test sets new value (via
g_setenv()) it may be placed at the very same position in the env
var buffer and thus the mock fails to detect the change.

The solution is to keep our private copy of the value (by
g_strdup()) which makes the variable not rely on
getenv()/setenv() placing values at random positions.

Libvirt API for virtualization

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.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
