Daniel P. Berrangé e9cfbd36c5 tests: fix stat mocking with Fedora rawhide
GLibC has a really complicated way of dealing with the 'stat' function
historically, which means our mocks in turn have to look at four
different possible functions to replace, stat, stat64, __xstat,
__xstat64.

In Fedora 33 and earlier:

 - libvirt.so links to __xstat64
 - libc.so library exports stat, stat64, __xstat, __xstat64
 - sys/stat.h header exposes stat and __xstat

In Fedora 34 rawhide:

 - libvirt.so links to stat64
 - libc.so library exports stat, stat64, __xstat, __xstat64
 - sys/stat.h header exposes stat

Historically we only looked at the exported symbols from libc.so to
decide which to mock.

In F34 though we must not consider __xstat / __xstat64 though because
they only existance for binary compatibility. Newly built binaries
won't reference them.

Thus we must introduce a header file check into our logic for deciding
which symbol to mock. We must ignore the __xstat / __xstat64 symbols
if they don't appear in the sys/stat.h header, even if they appear
in libc.so

Libvirt API for virtualization

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.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
