[Libguestfs] Libguestfs with Yara rules error

[Luis Fueris]

Hi Richard.

Few days ago, I installed libyara a libguestfs properly. But when I load 
a yara rule and scan it via guestfs_yara_scan, my binary throughts 
following error:

libguestfs: error: deserialise_yara_detection_list: Success

And function exists with NULL value. As we can see this function is on 
lib/yara.c from libguestfs git. I think that these yara functions are an 
integration for yara C api. All debug and trace log is in 
libguestfs-yara.debug file.
