Eric Blake 7b4e5693c1 API: make declaration of _LAST enum values conditional 
Although this is a public API break, it only affects users that
were compiling against *_LAST values, and can be trivially
worked around without impacting compilation against older
headers, by the user defining VIR_ENUM_SENTINELS before using
libvirt.h.  It is not an ABI break, since enum values do not
appear as .so entry points.  Meanwhile, it prevents users from
using non-stable enum values without explicitly acknowledging
the risk of doing so.

See this list discussion:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-January/msg00804.html

* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Hide all sentinels behind
LIBVIRT_ENUM_SENTINELS, and add missing sentinels.
* src/internal.h (VIR_DEPRECATED): Allow inclusion after
libvirt.h.
(LIBVIRT_ENUM_SENTINELS): Expose sentinels internally.
* daemon/libvirtd.h: Use the sentinels.
* src/remote/remote_protocol.x (includes): Don't expose sentinels.
* python/generator.py (enum): Likewise.
* tests/cputest.c (cpuTestCompResStr): Silence compiler warning.
* tools/virsh.c (vshDomainStateReasonToString)
(vshDomainControlStateToString): Likewise.

         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.
