Michal Privoznik eaac07755a github: Update lockdown message when opening a PR
The message that's thrown at users when they try to open a pull
request on github suggests opening the MR on gitlab instead.
While this works for other libvirt subprojects, for the main
libvirt.git we still use e-mail workflow. Update the message to
reflect this fact.

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.
