Laine Stump 7f42bdf5c0 util: manually set dirp to NULL after closing in virCapabilitiesInitCache()
In all uses of VIR_DIR_CLOSE() except one, the DIR* is never
referenced after closing all the way until it goes out of
scope. virCapabilitiesInitCaches(), however, reuses the same DIR* over
and over in a loop, but due to having many error conditions that
result in a goto out of the loop, it's not well suited to reducing the
scope of the variable until we introduce a g_autoptr cleanup function
for DIR*.

In preparation for doing just that, we need to get rid of the side
effect of VIR_DIR_CLOSE() setting the DIR* to NULL, so in this one
case, let's manually set the DIR* to NULL. Then in an upcoming patch
we can safely remove the side effect from VIR_DIR_CLOSE().

This extra/ugly bit of code is only temporary: once we introduce the
g_autoptr cleanup function for DIR*, we will remove this manual
close/clear completely anyway.

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.
