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 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.
Only in end-user messages and documentation. This change was done
mostly mechanically using the Perl script attached below.
I also changed don't -> don’t etc and made some other simple fixes.

Daemon 'proc_nr's have to be assigned monotonically and uniquely to
each daemon function. However in practice it can be difficult to work
out which is the next free proc_nr. Placing all of them into a single
table in a new file (proc_nr.ml) should make this easier.
Group the APIs logically and move them into new modules:
Actions_core:
Core APIs and anything that doesn't fit into another group, eg. launch.
(With some more effort this could be split further.)
Actions_augeas:
Augeas APIs, eg. aug-init.
Actions_debug:
Debug APIs.
Actions_hivex:
Hivex APIs, eg. hivex-open.
Actions_inspection:
Inspection APIs, eg. inspect-get-type.
Actions_properties:
Handle properties, eg. set-hv, get-hv.
Actions_tsk:
SleuthKit APIs, eg. filesystem-walk.
*_deprecated:
All of the above modules have deprecated variants, where we
place the deprecated actions.
