Eric Blake d002c250cd build: improve check for out-of-date .gnulib submodule
git reset --hard 96e5a2d4d5b13bf2cc887562dc11d146b78d5950
./autogen.sh
make -s
git pull
make -s    <-- expecting auto-bootstrap here, doesn't happen

Use git diff to expose whether the submodule has untracked changes,
which are typical on an incremental pull if .gnulib was updated but
the user did not manually run 'git submodule update'.

After this patch is applied, I encountered a new problem when
following the reproducing pattern.  Basically, the change to .gnulib
between libvirt's commit 96e5a2d4 and this patch introduced a change
to sys_ioctl.in.h, but gnulib (intentionally) does not make the
replacement headers depend on Makefile changes.  Therefore, I ended up
with the generated replacement header being broken:
gnulib/lib/sys/ioctl.h complained about a use of @.  But that seems
like something that should be fixed upstream in gnulib's bootstrap
script (that is, when doing a gnulib update, all files created from
.in.h file should probably be deleted).  Without the benefit of that
proposed gnulib fix, I worked around the problem by manually removing
the stale gnulib/lib/sys/ioctl.h.

* autogen.sh (t): Also run bootstrap if the gnulib submodule needs
to be updated.
* cfg.mk (_autogen): Likewise.

         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.

Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
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.
