I had another part of this plan which I didn't yet implement (because
it's not necessary for getting the inspection stuff rewritten).  That
was to observe that after all these changes, Common_utils only
contains functions like "message", "open_guestfs", "external_command"
and others which are only used by the tools, and therefore we could
rename Common_utils -> Tools_utils.

Granted I haven't done that yet done that, but I think it will make
more sense after that (future) change.
