util: storage: Invert the way recursive metadata retrieval works
To avoid having the root of a backing chain present twice in the list we need to invert the working of virStorageFileGetMetadataRecurse. Until now the recursive worker created a new backing chain element from the name and other information passed as arguments. This required us to pass the data of the parent in a deconstructed way and the worker created a new entry for the parent. This patch converts this function so that it just fills in metadata about the parent and creates a backing chain element from those. This removes the duplication of the first element. To avoid breaking the test suite, virstoragetest now calls a wrapper that creates the parent structure explicitly and pre-fills it with the test data with same function signature as previously used.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
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.
