maint: don't distribute generated .def files
I ran 'make dist' in the directory left over from ./autobuild.sh (which was configured for a mingw cross build); the resulting tarball had more files than 'make dist' on a normal Linux build. I traced it to the fact that we were distributing a generated file, but only when configure said the end user had to generate the file in the first place. In the process, I noticed that we had some difference in symbol file names; I added a comment explaining why the difference exists (after first trying to normalize the names and hitting VPATH build failures). * configure.ac (LIBVIRT_QEMU_SYMBOL_FILE): Add some comments. * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): No need to ship a generated file; particularly since which file is built depends on configure results.
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.
