maint: avoid nested public calls
Having one API call into another is generally not good; among other issues, it gives confusing logs, and is not quite as efficient. This fixes several instances, but not all: we still have instances in both libvirt.c and in backend hypervisors (lxc and qemu) calling the public virTypedParamsGetString and friends, which dispatch errors immediately. I'm not sure if it is worth trying to clean that up in a separate patch (such a cleanup may be easiest by separating the public function into a wrapper around the internal, then tweaking internal.h so that internal users directly use the internal function). * src/libvirt.c (virDomainGetUUIDString, virNetworkGetUUIDString) (virStoragePoolGetUUIDString, virSecretGetUUIDString) (virNWFilterGetUUIDString): Avoid nested public API call. * src/util/virtypedparam.c (virTypedParamsReplaceString): Don't dispatch errors here. (virTypedParamsGet): No need to reset errors. (virTypedParamsGetBoolean): Use consistent ordering. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
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.
