Daniel P. Berrangé a055308668 tests: don't set G_DEBUG=fatal-warnings on macOS
On macOS when BROKEN_POLL is set in GLib, our tests will periodically
trigger a warning:

  (process:50880): GLib-WARNING **: 02:54:15.272: poll(2) failed due to: Bad file descriptor.

Our code is inherantly racy, calling g_source_destroy which
removes the FD from the event thread poll asynchronously but
we close the FD immediately after g_source_destroy returns.

With poll() this results in POLLNVAL which we're ignoring, but
with select() it generates the BADF error on macOS.

We need to ignore the warnings on macOS to avoid abort()ing
our test programs.

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.
