Andrea Bolognani 8627ec167c tests: Turn abi-update.xml into a symlink
Since the idea behind introducing the abi-update variant of
a test is showing that libvirt behaves differently based on
whether the configuration is for a newly-defined domain or an
existing one, we don't want the input files to ever go out of
sync.

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.
