Don't assume that if guestfs_case_sensitive_path returns NULL, that it
means the file does not exist.
The (previously undefined) behaviour of case_sensitive_path was that a
NULL return meant "either the file doesn't exist or some other error".
However in commit 973581780d this was
changed so that if the last element of the path didn't exist, it was
assumed to be a new file and the (non-NULL) path of the new file is
returned.
This change breaks code (including in libguestfs) which tries to use
case_sensitive_path as a dual-purpose call to fix-up a path for
Windows and test if the file exists. Such code should be rewritten so
that it explicitly tests for file existence after calling
case_sensitive_path.
I examined all the calls to case_sensitive_path in libguestfs and
modified them where necessary.

- Use S<...> for non-breaking spaces.
- Arrange the builds section better.
- Add a section on enabling sVirt.
- Other small fixes.
(cherry picked from commit 19b29c3637)
This adds standard LICENSE and BUGS sections to all of the man pages
that are processed by podwrapper.
Modify all the calls to $(PODWRAPPER) to add the right --license
parameter according to the content. Note that this relaxes the
license on some code example pages, making them effectively BSD-style
licensed.

section.
Ensure each man page contains consistent COPYRIGHT and AUTHOR
sections.
Remove the LICENSE section. We will add that back in podwrapper in a
later commit.
(cherry picked from commit f1d98bbc79)
The new API splits orderly close into a two-step process:
if (guestfs_shutdown (g) == -1) {
/* handle the error, eg. qemu error */
}
guestfs_close (g);
Note that the explicit shutdown step is only necessary in the case
where you have made changes to the disk image and want to handle write
errors. Read the documentation for further information.
This change also:
- deprecates guestfs_kill_subprocess
- turns guestfs_kill_subprocess into the same as guestfs_shutdown
- changes guestfish and other tools to call shutdown + close
where necessary (not for read-only tools)
- updates documentation
- updates examples

This is now set by default in all supported versions of libguestfs.
It's just confusing if the examples refer to it.

This is a common search term on the main website, and there is no good
information provided by Google at present.
(cherry picked from commit 144d7cd988)
* Move MOUNT_OPTIONS to #define at top.
* Move SIZE_MB to #define at top.
* Set PS1 in subshell (doesn't work - why?).
* Hide libguestfs errors from guestfs_mount_local_run.
This fixes commit 46b6766156.
