[libvirt] PATCH: 0/4: Add out-of-memory validation to the testsuite

The following series of patches add infrastructure neccessary to let us test
OOM handling for any libvirt code using our malloc wrappers. Currently only
a few places use this, but as this series will show, it already lets us find
several bugs. As we convert more code away from malloc to VIR_MALLOC we'll
get ever improved coverage. Not testing with malloc() directly also means
we avoid having to debug code in libraries we link to. Although obviously
it'd be nice if they had correct OOM handling, that's their job to debug
not ours...

Regards,
Daniel.
