libvirt.h: avoid regression, and document preferred name
Commit 824dcaff was a regression (thankfully unreleased) for any client code that used 'struct _virSchedParameter' directly rather than the preferred virSchedParameter typedef. Adding a #define avoids even that API change, while rearranging the file makes it clear what the old vs. new API is. * include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Rearrange older names to the bottom and improve documentation on preferred names. (virDomainGetSchedulerParameters, virDomainSetSchedulerParameters) (virDomainSetSchedulerParametersFlags) (virDomainSetBlkioParameters, virDomainGetBlkioParameters) (virDomainSetMemoryParameters, virDomainGetMemoryParameters): Use newer type names. * python/libvirt-override.c: Adjust code generation to cope. Suggested by Daniel P. Berrange.
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.
