[libvirt] [PATCH v2 01/23] build: probe for glib-2 library in configure

[Daniel P. Berrangé]

Prepare for linking with glib by probing for it at configure
time. Per supported platforms target, the min glib versions on
relevant distros are:

  RHEL-8: 2.56.1
  RHEL-7: 2.50.3
  Debian (Buster): 2.58.3
  Debian (Stretch): 2.50.3
  OpenBSD (Ports): 2.58.3
  FreeBSD (Ports): 2.56.3
  OpenSUSE Leap 15: 2.54.3
  SLE12-SP2: 2.48.2
  Ubuntu (Xenial): 2.48.0
  macOS (Homebrew): 2.56.0

This suggests that a minimum glib of 2.48 is a reasonable target.
This aligns with the minimum version required by qemu too.
