Eric Blake 824dcaff78 libvirt.h: consolidate typed parameter handling 
The new type is identical to the three old types that it replaces,
and by creating a common type, this allows future patches to share
common code that manipulates typed parameters.

This change is backwards-compatible in API (recompilation works
without any edits) and ABI (an older client that has not been
recompiled uses the same layout) for code using only public
names; only code using private names (those beginning with _)
will have to adapt.

* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virTypedParameterType)
(VIR_TYPED_PARAM_FIELD_LENGTH, _virTypedParameter): New enum,
macro, and type.
(virSchedParameter, virBlkioParameter, virMemoryParameter):
Rewrite in terms of a common type, while keeping all old public
names for backwards compatibility.
(struct _virSchedParameter, struct _virBlkioParameter)
(struct _virMemoryParameter): Delete - these are private names.
* python/generator.py (enum): Cope with the refactoring.

    libvirt Python Bindings README
    ==============================

Most of the libvirt python binding code is automatically generated
using the script  generator.py, and the API description from
docs/libvirt-api.xml


Manually written files:

 - libvirt-override.c: methods where the C binding needs to be hand crafted
 - libvirt-override.py: global methods where the C and python bindings have different args
 - libvirt-override-api.xml: methods where the auto-extracted API docs are not
   suitable for python auto-generator. Overriding this if the method is going
   into libvirt-override.c, but we still want auto-generated libvirt-override.py
 - libvirt-override-virConnect.py: virConnect class methods
 - typewrappers.h,.c: Python object wrappers for each libvirt C object


Auto-generated files:

  - libvirt.py: The main python binding. Comprises auto-generated code, along
    with contents from libvirt-override.py and libvirt-override-virConnect.py
  - libvirt.c, libvirt.h: The C glue layer for the python binding. Comprises
    auto-generated code, along with libvirt-override.c
  - libvirt-export.c: List of auto-generated C methods, included into
    the libvirt-override.c method table
