This change was done almost entirely automatically using the script
below. This uses the OCaml lexer to read the source files and extract
the strings and locations. Strings which are "candidates" (in this
case, longer than 3 lines) are replaced in the output with quoted
string literals.
Since the OCaml lexer is used, it already substitutes all escape
sequences correctly. I diffed the output of the generator and it is
identical after this change, except for UUIDs, which change because of
how Utils.stable_uuid is implemented.

Run this command across the source:
perl -pi.bak -e 's/(20[012][0-9])-20[12][012]/$1-2023/g' `git ls-files`
and remove changes to po{,-docs}/*.po{,t} (these will be regenerated
later when we run 'make dist').
Previously the generator did not change any string returned from the
daemon. Thus guestfs_list_devices (for example) might return internal
device names like /dev/vda (if virtio-blk was in use).
This changes calls to the daemon so that returned strings are
annotated as plain strings, devices or mountables:
old ---> new
RString "uuid" RString (RPlainString "uuid")
RString "device" RString (RDevice "device")
RString "fs" RString (RMountable "fs")
For hash tables, keys and values must be annotated separately. For
example a hash table of mountables (keys) -> plain strings (values)
would be annotated like this:
old ---> new
RHashtable "fses" RHashtable (RMountable, RPlainString, "fses")
The daemon calls reverse_device_name_translation (currently a no-op)
for devices and mountables.
Note that this has no effect for calls which are handled on the
library side.
(cherry picked from commit 6b77cc196ecb8d7e1d73592ef65a189a7412c97c)
Previously we had lots of types like String, Device, StringList,
DeviceList, etc. where Device was just a String with magical
properties (but only inside the daemon), and DeviceList was just a
list of Device strings.
Replace these with some simple top-level types:
String
StringList
and move the magic into a subtype.
The change is mechanical, for example:
old ---> new
FileIn "filename" String (FileIn, "filename")
DeviceList "devices" StringList (Device, "devices")
Handling BufferIn is sufficiently different from a plain String
throughout all the bindings that it still uses a top-level type.
(Compare with FileIn/FileOut where the only difference is in the
protocol, but the bindings can uniformly treat it as a plain String.)
There is no semantic change, and the generated files are identical
except for a minor change in the (deprecated) Perl
%guestfs_introspection table.
