generator: Optional arguments, add-drive-opts (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851).

This large commit changes the generator so that optional arguments
can be supported for functions.

The model for arguments (known as the "style") is changed from
(ret, args) to (ret, args, optargs) where optargs is a more limited
list of arguments.

One function has been added which takes optional arguments, it is
"add-drive-opts", modelled as:

  (RErr, [String "filename"], #required
         [Bool "readonly"; String "format"; String "iface"]) #optional

Note that this function is processed in the library (does not go over
the RPC protocol to the daemon).  This has allowed us to simplify
the current implementation by omitting changes related to RPC or the
daemon, although we plan to add these at some point in the future.

From C this function can be called in 3 different ways as in these
examples:

  guestfs_add_drive_opts (g, filename,
                          GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_READONLY, 1,
  GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT, "raw",
                          -1);

(the argument(s) between 'filename' and '-1' are the optional ones).

  guestfs_add_drive_opts_va (g, filename, args);

where 'args' is a va_list.  This works like the first version.

  struct guestfs_add_drive_opts_argv optargs = {
    .bitmask = GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_READONLY_BITMASK,
    .readonly = 1,
  }
  guestfs_add_drive_opts_argv (g, filename, &optargs);

This last form lets you construct lists of optional arguments, and
is used by guestfish and the language bindings.

In guestfish optional arguments are used like this:

  add-drive-opts filename readonly:true

In OCaml these are mapped naturally to OCaml optional arguments, eg:

  g#add_drive_opts ~readonly:true filename;

In Perl these are mapped to extra arguments, eg:

  $g->add_drive_opts ($filename, readonly => 1);

In Python these are mapped to optional arguments, eg:

  g.add_drive_opts ("file", readonly = 1, format = "qcow2")

In Ruby these are mapped to a final hash argument, eg:

  g.add_drive_opts("file", {})
  g.add_drive_opts("file", :readonly => 1)
  g.add_drive_opts("file", :readonly => 1, :iface => "virtio")

In PHP these are mapped to extra parameters.  This is not quite
accurate since you cannot omit arbitrary optional parameters, but
there's not much than can be done within the limitations of PHP
as a language.

Fix error launching libguestfs when euid != uid.

When writing to a RHEV target, virt-v2v launches the libguestfs
appliance with euid:egid = 36:36, which is required to write to
an NFS target using root_squash.

Since we changed to using a cached appliance, this causes an error on
start up, as the cached files are owned by root, but the cache directory
is owned by 36:36.  The reason is that bash resets euid to uid and
egid to gid so when febootstrap-supermin-helper is executed, it runs as
root:root.  The cache directory was created by libguestfs directly so
it has the correct ownership.

system (ie. not going via a shell) and by setting the real UID and
