gnulib: add getopt module
Unconditionally use gnulib's getopt module. This is needed by the bhyve driver to provide a reentrant interface for getopt. Several gnulib headers rely on features.h being included by ctype.h to provide __GNUC_PREREQ, but on systems without glibc, this is not provided. In these cases __GNUC_PREREQ gets redefined to 0, which causes build errors from checks in src/internal.h. Therefore, define __GNUC_PREREQ as early as possible. config-post.h is probably the first header that is included, before any other headers.
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.
