Michal Privoznik 857df2fe50 lib: Drop intermediary return variables
In a few places we declare a variable (which is optionally
followed by a code not touching it) then set the variable to a
value and return the variable immediately. It's obvious that the
variable is needless and the value can be returned directly
instead.

This patch was generated using this semantic patch:

  @@
  type T;
  identifier ret;
  expression E;
  @@
  - T ret;
  ... when != ret
      when strict
  - ret = E;
  - return ret;
  + return E;

After that I fixed couple of formatting issues because coccinelle
formatted some lines differently than our coding style.

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.
