Rewrite virt-cat in C.
With changes in the core API since 1.5, virt-cat was little
more than a Perl wrapper which did some command line argument
processing. Thus it could easily be rewritten in C.

with guestfish and guestmount, so the options have changed
slightly (old-style command line *is* supported).
virt-cat -a disk.img file [file ...]
virt-cat -d domname file [file ...]

In the language bindings (except Perl) these are handled
as generic int64s with the assumption being that any
pointer can be converted to and from this. There is room
to add specific support for some pointer types in future
by specializing the match cases. However this is inherently
tricky because it depends on the implementation details of
other bindings (eg. to support virDomainPtr in OCaml depends
on the implementation details of the ocaml-libvirt project).
Perl is slightly different in that you have to supply a
typemap. Again this would depend on the implementation
detail of an external library unless you supplied a generic

Ensure atomic creation of a cached appliance
Cached appliances are discovered by their predictable path. Previously we were
creating a cached appliance directly in this predictable path. This had at least
2 undesirable effects:
* Interrupting appliance creation would leave a corrupt appliance
* 2 processes could simultaneously attempt to create the same appliance, causing
corruption.
This patch causes the cached appliance to be created in a temporary directory,
and then renamed to the predictable path. As rename is an atomic operation, this
makes the whole creation atomic.
This patch also changes the predictable path to have a prefix of 'guestfs.'.
This will make it simpler for system administrators to clean up old cached
appliances.

checksum was being generated by a call to febootstrap-supermin-helper through

and the checksum was generated for uid, not euid. When virt-v2v is writing to a
RHEV target, uid == 0 and euid == 36, which resulted in a cached appliance being
created for root with permissions for uid 36.

New internal function guestfs___print_timestamped_argv
This function generalises the existing print_cmdline used to output the qemu
command line to output any given command line, and exports it to other modules.
It also adds a timestamp to the old print_cmdline output for consistency with
guestfs___print_timestamped_message.

Change virt-list-filesystems to use the core inspection API
instead of the deprecated Sys::Guestfs::Lib::get_partitions
