Currently we only append a newline to 'actual' if 'expected' (as loaded from file) already ends in a newline, but that results in inconsistent behavior. For example, some of the test files used by virhostcputest are newline-terminated and some aren't. If we were to remove existing newlines from those files or add them where they aren't present, the test would still pass, and even using VIR_TEST_REGENERATE_OUTPUT=1 wouldn't change them back. Make things consistent by ensuring that 'actual' is always newline-terminated. The only exception is when 'actual' is completely empty: in that case, we want the file to be actually empty, not contain a single empty line. query-jobs-empty.result in qemumonitorjsondata/ is an example of this being used.

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.
