spec: Split libvirt-client
Currently, we have libvirt-client library which serves as a collection point for all the libraries and client binaries we have. Therefore we have couple of silly dependencies, for instance libvirt-daemon depends on libvirt-client. Only because the shared library is in the client package. To solve this, new package libvirt-libs is introduced where all the libraries are going to live. The client package is then set to depend on this new package, just like the rest of packages that suffer the same problem. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>
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

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