Daniel P. Berrange 5a26d1ce12 Point to the new libvirt-go bindings
The github.com/rgbkrk/libvirt-go bindings were the most complete
bindings historically, but their API coverage stops at 1.2.4,
with exception of a couple of newer APIs.

The new bindings at http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-go.git;a=log
how have (almost[1]) 100% API coverage all the way to 2.5.0. They also
expose the APIs in a way that allows for much stronger go type
checking by the compiler, and expose typed parameters as explicit
structs. Finally the bindings are able to conditionally compile against
any libvirt version 1.2.0 -> 2.5.0 without use of go build tags.

Change the docs to point to these new bindings, since they'll be
a better bet for users long term.

[1] virEvent & virStream callbacks are still TODO to be fixed
    real soon.

<h1 >Bindings for other languages</h1>
<p>
Libvirt supports C and C++ directly, and has bindings available
for other languages:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>C#</strong>: Arnaud Champion develops
<a href="csharp.html">C# bindings</a>.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Go</strong>: Daniel Berrange develops
<a href="https://godoc.org/github.com/libvirt/libvirt-go">Go bindings</a>.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Java</strong>: Daniel Veillard develops
<a href="java.html">Java bindings</a>.
</li>
<li>
<strong>OCaml</strong>: Richard Jones develops
<a href="http://libvirt.org/ocaml/">OCaml bindings</a>.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Perl</strong>: Daniel Berrange develops
<a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Sys-Virt/">Perl bindings</a>.
</li>
<li>
<p>
<strong>PHP</strong>: Radek Hladik started developing
<a href="http://libvirt.org/php">PHP bindings</a> in 2010.
</p>
<p>
In February 2011 the binding development has been moved to the libvirt.org website as
libvirt-php project.
</p>
<p>
The project is now maintained by Michal Novotny and it's heavily based
on Radek's version. For more information, including
information on posting patches to libvirt-php, please refer
to the <a href="http://libvirt.org/php">PHP bindings</a> site.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<strong>Python</strong>: Libvirt's python bindings are split to a
separate <a href="http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-python.git">package</a>
since version 1.2.0, older versions came with direct support for the
Python language.
</p>
<p>
If your libvirt is installed as packages, rather than compiled
by you from source code, ensure you have the appropriate
package installed.
</p>
<p>
This is named <b>libvirt-python</b> on RHEL/Fedora,
<a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python-libvirt"><b>python-libvirt</b></a>
on Ubuntu, and may be named differently on others.
</p>
<p>
For usage information, see the
<a href="python.html">Python API bindings</a> page.
</p>

<li>
<strong>Ruby</strong>: Chris Lalancette develops
<a href="http://libvirt.org/ruby/">Ruby bindings</a>.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
For information on using libvirt on <strong>Windows</strong>
<a href="windows.html">please see the Windows support page</a>.
</p>
<p>
Support, requests or help for libvirt bindings are welcome on the
<a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list/">mailing list</a>,
as usual try to provide enough background information and make sure
you use recent version, see the <a href="bugs.html">help page</a>.
