Replace strange $TEST_FUNCTIONS variable/expansion thing with
something more like what we use in nbdkit, a simple tests/functions.sh
script that gets sourced into each test script.
Update the common submodule to get:

mlcustomize, mltools: Replace $TEST_FUNCTIONS
TEST_FUNCTIONS is being removed from libguestfs and guestfs-tools (it
was removed from virt-v2v a while back). Make the same adjustment in
the common submodule.
(and some other commits which are not relevant to libguestfs)
This experimental feature allowed you (in theory) to connect to an
existing instance of the libguestfs daemon. (Again, in theory) it
allowed you to attach to running guests. This didn't work well in
practice. If you want to do this, install qemu-guest-agent inside
your guest instead.
This also disables the --live options in guestfish and guestmount.
(The option now prints an error).
This was never supported in RHEL.
The daemon tests relied on this connection method to perform tests on
a bare daemon, so this removes those tests. They were not especially
valuable.

Apply this change across all the shell scripts containing tests.
Additionally this defines the environment variables $abs_srcdir,
$abs_builddir, $top_srcdir, $top_builddir, $abs_top_srcdir and
$abs_top_builddir which can now be used throughout test scripts.
podcheck.pl is run as part of the tests to perform various checks on
the documentation and the tool.
Currently we check only that the documented options matches the
options that the tool implements and vice versa. This commit would
also allow us (in future) to check --help, --long-options,
--short-options, --version output.
This commit includes scripts to run the tests and various fixes to the
manual pages to ensure that the tests pass.
