 (c) Not currently optional but not implemented on older RHEL and

Each optional function is classified using Optional "group"
flag in the generator.

The daemon has to implement a function

  int optgroup_<name>_available (void);

for each optional group.  Some of these functions are fixed at
compile time, and some do simple run-time tests.

The do_available implementation in the daemon looks up the correct
function in a table and runs it.

We document the optional groups in the guestfs(3) man page.

Also: I added a NOT_AVAILABLE macro in order to unify all the

availability: Add guestfs_available.

Start a new API allowing groups of functions to be tested for
availability.

There are two reasons for this:

(1) If libguestfs is built with missing dependencies (eg. no Augeas lib)
then the corresponding functions are disabled in the appliance.  Up till
now there has been no way to test for this except to speculatively
issue commands and check for errors.

(2) When we port the daemon to Win32 it is likely that major pieces of
functionality won't be available (eg. LVM support).  This API gives
a way to test for that.

There is no change for existing clients: you still have to check for
errors from individual API calls.

For new clients, you will be able to test for availability of particular
APIs.

Usage scenario (A): An LVM editing tool which requires
both the LVM API and inotify in order to function at all:

  char *apis[] = { "inotify", "lvm2", NULL };
  r = guestfs_available (g, apis);
  if (r == -1) {

Usage scenario (B): A general purpose tool which optionally provides
configuration file editing, but this can be disabled, the result
merely being reduced functionality:

  r = guestfs_available (g, apis);
  enable_config_edit_menus = r == 0;

This change adds an explicit dependency on generator.ml for every file it
generates, except java files. Java is left for another time because it's
considerably trickier.

It also adds a build rule for src/libguestfs.la so it can be rebuilt as required
from other directories.

It does this by creating a top level make file, subdir-rules.mk, which can be
included from sub-directories. sub-directories need to define 'generator_built'
to include local files which are built by generator.ml, and they will be updated
automatically.

This fixes parallel make, and will automatically re-create generated files when
make is run from any directory.

It also fixes the problem which efad4f53 was targetting. Specifically,
src/guestfs_protocol.(c|h) had an erroneous dependency on stamp-generator, and
therefore generator.ml, despite not being directly created by it. This caused
them to be recreated every time generator.ml ran rather than only when
src/guestfs_protocol.x was updated, which cascaded into a daemon and therefore
appliance update.

files created by rpcgen.

this see:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-November/thread.html#00115

value == NULL to indicate an error, which is simpler for all concerned.

to be careful about this case inside both the daemon and the library
code, which is what this commit does.
