[Libguestfs] using gnulib from daemon/

Hi Rich,
Prompted by your "New commands to list devices by UUID and label"
patch, I've adjusted it to use gnulib.
While just compiling hash.[ch] is probably ok, in general (given the
strict requirements of libguestfs) using the C files of a module is
usually not an option, since you don't get the benefit of the module's
m4 tests or automake snippets. For other modules, those pieces
are often required.
To integrate gnulib into a project like this is not hard at all:
I ran this one-time command:
../.gnulib/gnulib-tool --import --with-tests hash
That created the file, daemon/m4/gnulib-cache.m4,
which I've git-added in the patch below.
It records the names of modules we're using
(currently only "hash") as well as a few other things,
including the fact that I told it to include unit tests.
That latter option creates and populates the tests/ directory.
The other new directory is lib/.
I added the SUBDIRS line in Makefile.am to build in those
directories and the corresponding */Makefile names in configure.ac.
Now that gnulib-cache.m4 records state, to update from gnulib
in the future, you'd just run this, perhaps from an ./autogen.sh script:
(I haven't done that yet)
../.gnulib/gnulib-tool --update
Also, I added the usual AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([build-aux])
directive to configure.ac so that all of the auxilliary
files pulled in by autoreconf don't clutter the daemon/ directory.
The only other change was the always-required-with-gnulib one
to add these two lines to configure.ac:
gl_EARLY
gl_INIT
If you apply this on top of yours, it should still build,
with no change in binary size, and it will then be trivial
to add a few more gnulib modules.

Subject: [PATCH] daemon: use gnulib
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Define.
(AM_CPPFLAGS): Define, to include from gnulib's lib/
(LDADD): Define, to link with gnulib's libgnu.a.
* configure.ac: Use AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([build-aux]), gl_EARLY, gl_INIT.
(AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add lib/Makefile and tests/Makefile
* m4/gnulib-cache.m4: New file, generated by running
../.gnulib/gnulib-tool --import --with-tests hash
* .gitignore: Ignore all of the imported files.
