[libvirt] [PATCHv2 2/8] python: Remove FastParser from generator.

[Cole Robinson]

FastParser uses sgmlop, a non-standard python module meant as a replacement
for xmllib (which is deprecated since python 2.0). Fedora doesn't even carry
this module, and the generator doesn't have high performance requirements, so
just rip the code out.
