[libvirt] [PATCH] maint: turn on gcc logical-op checking

This would have detected the bug in commit 38ad33931 (Aug 09), which
we missed until commit f828ca35 (Jul 10); over 11 months later.

However, on Fedora 13, it also triggers LOTS of warnings from
the libcurl-devel header for one file:

esx/esx_vi.c: In function 'esxVI_CURL_Perform':
esx/esx_vi.c:232: error: logical '&&' with non-zero constant will always evaluate as true [-Wlogical-op]
esx/esx_vi.c:232: error: logical '&&' with non-zero constant will always evaluate as true [-Wlogical-op]
esx/esx_vi.c:232: error: logical '&&' with non-zero constant will always evaluate as true [-Wlogical-op]
...

I figure the gross hack to disable the warnings in the third-party
code, along with the reduction in type-safety in just esx_vi.c,
is worth the improved compiler checking throughout the rest of libvirt.

* acinclude.m4 (--enable-compile-warnings=error): Add
-Wlogical-op.
* src/esx/esx_vi.c (includes): Hack around broken libcurl-devel
header, to avoid compilation warning.
Suggested by Daniel P. Berrange.
