Fix compatibility issues when being compiled with GCC 10.
=head2 Internals
When linking OCaml programs, automake silent rules and the C<V=1> flag
are both now obeyed (Pino Toscano).
The C<guestfs_device_index> API was reimplemented in library code
instead of in the daemon. There should be no observable effect of
this change.
Since Linux 5.6 enumerates C</dev/sdX> devices in parallel, libguestfs
was changed to map API device names to appliance device names, and
then do the reverse mapping when returning names from the appliance.
Hopefully this should have no observable effect, but can produce
somewhat confusing debugging messages since device names in the debug
might not match device names passed in to APIs. Furthermore the
C<root=UUID=...> option is always passed to the appliance (instead of
naming the device containing the root filesystem).
We expect to move from the Zanata service to the Weblate service for
translated strings. For more information see
