GUESTFSD_EXT_CMD was used by OpenSUSE to track which external commands
are run by the daemon and package those commands into the appliance.
It is no longer used by recent SUSE builds, so remove it.
Thanks: Pino Toscano, Olaf Hering.
guestfsd calls many different tools. Keeping track of all of them is
error prone. This patch introduces a new helper macro to put the command
string into its own ELF section:
GUESTFSD_EXT_CMD(C_variable, command_name);
This syntax makes it still possible to grep for used command names.
The actual usage of the collected list could be like this:
objcopy -j .guestfsd_ext_cmds -O binary daemon/guestfsd /dev/stdout |
tr '\0' '\n' | sort -u
The resulting output will be used to tell mkinitrd which programs to
copy into the initrd.

RWMJ:
- Move str_vgchange at request of author.
- Fix snprintf call in daemon/debug.c
The RPC stubs already prefix the command name to error messages.
The daemon doesn't have to do this. As a (small) benefit this also
makes the daemon slightly smaller.
Code in the daemon such as:
if (argv[0] == NULL) {
reply_with_error ("passed an empty list");
return NULL;
}
now results in error messages like this:
><fs> command ""
libguestfs: error: command: passed an empty list
(whereas previously you would have seen ..command: command:..)
