Roman Bogorodskiy 7dd7ddac50 build-aux: require GNU grep on FreeBSD
FreeBSD 13.x and newer ship BSD grep which apparently has some
performance issues causing certain syntax check tests to run longer than
the default 30 seconds timeout used by meson.

However, GNU grep is still available through the textproc/gnugrep port,
so require it on FreeBSD if /usr/bin/grep is a BSD grep to make checks
pass in a reasonable time.

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.
