[Libguestfs] Running lcitool in nbdkit

[Richard W.M. Jones]

I rebased Martin's tree[1] on top of libvirt-ci head, and reran
lcitool.  There are several places where I changed the generated files
in nbdkit.git and where those changes are overwritten (I didn't
realise those files were generated).  I think I can fix most of them.

But a couple of larger problems I can see ...

(a) lcitool wants to make this change:

I added "dnf install 'dnf-command(config-manager)'" in:
https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/nbdkit/-/commit/e359fab8c682436faff914591b5ff42e29e77b9c
because the dnf config-manager command doesn't work.

The dnf config-manager command in turn was added earlier in Martin's
original commit.  I don't know if Martin added that manually or if an
earlier version of lcitool generated it, but it is necessary in order
to use the nodebug kernel, and using the nodebug kernel is necessary
to avoid performance problems, timeouts and out of memory problems
when using libguestfs on Rawhide.

(b) lcitool wants to remove my perl conditionalization changes:

which I added here:

https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/nbdkit/-/commit/414ee371ee2b1a12c6d45466d041322b247723eb

I'm not clear where I should have added those.  The rust
conditionalization stuff doesn't seem to be part of lcitool so I guess
it's generated from another file somewhere.

Be nice if original files were called "file.in" or something like that
so we can tell what files are generated and what are originals.

Rich.
