Daniel P. Berrange 9bd3cce0d2 Fix symbol exports & remove duplicated libvirt_util.la linkage 
The libvirt_util.la library was mistakenly linked into libvirtd
directly. Since libvirt_util.la is already linked to libvirt.so,
this resulted in libvirtd getting two copies of the code and
more critically 2 copies of static global variables.

Testing in turn exposed a issue with loadable modules. The
gnulib replacement functions are not exported to loadable
modules. Rather than trying to figure out the name sof all
gnulib functions & export them, just linkage all loadable
modules against libgnu.la statically.

* daemon/Makefile.am: Remove linkage of libvirt_util.la
  and libvirt_driver.la
* src/Makefile.am: Link driver modules against libgnu.la
* src/libvirt.c: Don't try to load modules which were
  compiled out
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export all other internal
  symbols that are required  by drivers

         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.
