Ignore launch() error in virt-rescue. (RHBZ#618556)
launch() expects guestfsd to start, which it never does in virt-rescue, so it
always returns an error about the appliance shutting down unexpectedly.

Shut down the appliance cleanly
When guestfsd exits, or the user exits the virt-rescue shell, the init script
exits which causes the kernel to panic. This isn't really a functional issue, as
all useful work is done by this point. However, it does cause virt-rescue to
display an unsightly error message.
This patch causes the appliance to power off cleanly before the init script
exits. Note it actually does a reboot rather than a poweroff. This is because
ACPI is disabled in the appliance, meaning poweroff doesn't work, but qemu is
configured not to restart on reboot.

Revert "add_drive_ro adds readonly=on option if available." (RHBZ#617200).
Adding the readonly=on option is not so clever. This causes
qemu to present the disk as read-only to the guest. (The
expected behaviour of snapshots=on,readonly=on was that it
would open the disk O_RDONLY but present a writable disk to
the guest).
Since the guest sees a read-only disk, we are unable to do any
recovery if a filesystem on the disk is inconsistent. This basically
prevents most accesses to live disk images.

perl: Add explicit close() method (RHBZ#602592).
This add an optional explicit $g->close method which may be
used to force the handle to be closed immediately. Note the
provisos about this method in the manual page entry. Callers
should *not* normally use this method.
The implementation of the handle also changes. Before, the
handle was a blessed reference to an integer (the integer
being the pointer to the C guestfs_h handle). Now we change
this to a hashref containing currently the following field:
_g => pointer to C guestfs_h handle (as an integer)
If this field is not present, it means that the handle has been
explicitly closed. This avoids double-freeing the handle.
The user may add their own fields to this hash in order to store
per-handle data. However any fields whose names begin with
an underscore are reserved for use by the Perl bindings.
This commit also adds a regression test.
This commit also changes the existing warning when you call
a method without a Sys::Guestfs handle as the first parameter,
into an error. This is because such cases are always errors.

We could fix this so that the human-readable numbers get written
into the CSV file. However would probably be wrong for most uses
of the CSV format (databases and spreadsheets) since they would not
be able to interpret these human-readable numbers, or worse could
misinterpret, eg. thinking that "1M" and "1G" are both 1.
Therefore this commit disallows this combination of options.

file: Fix file command on /dev/VG/LV paths (RHBZ#582484).
Previous commit
4df593496e116dfb635731c058b7627e81fc179c broke the
"file" command on logical volume paths, since these are symbolic
links. We *should* follow these (only).
This inadvertantly broke virt-inspector too, which indicates that
we need more regression testing in this area. Since carrying whole
Fedora images around could make the distribution even larger than
now, I'm not sure at the moment how to do this.
Thanks to Matt Booth for diagnosing this bug.

Use the noop scheduler inside the appliance.
In my limited tests, this seems to make a small but noticable
difference, improving the performance of some straightforward
read operations by a little over 10%.

file: Restrict to regular files (RHBZ#582484).
The file call can hang if called on char devices (because we are
using the file -s option).
This is hard to solve cleanly without adding another file API.
However this restricts file to regular files, unless called explicitly
with a /dev/ path. For non-regular files, it will now return a
string like "directory".
There is a small semantic change for symbolic links. Previously
it would not have worked at all on absolute links (or rather, the
results would have been undefined). It would have treated relative
symlinks to regular files as the regular file itself. Now it will
return the string "symbolic link" in both cases.
This commit also makes the API safe when called on untrusted
filesystems. Previously a filesystem might have been set up so
that (eg) /etc/redhat-release was a char device, which would have
caused virt-inspector and virt-v2v to hang. Now it will not hang.
