Andrea Bolognani ed90d36224 meson: Do less when not building from git
As explained in the comment, the syntax-check machinery uses git
to figure out the list of files it should operate on, so we can
only enable it when building from git.

Despite only registering the various tests with meson in that
case, however, we unconditionally perform a bunch of preparation
that is only useful for the purpose of registering and running
the tests. If we're not going to do that, we can skip a few steps
and save a bit of time.

Best viewed with 'git show -w'.

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.
