533901409e pod: Use F<> for filenames instead of C<>. 
Done using a sequence of regular expressions like this:

  perl -pi.bak -e 's{C</}{F</}g' `git ls-files \*.pod` generator/actions.ml
  perl -pi.bak -e 's{C<C:\\}{F<C:\\}g' `git ls-files \*.pod` generator/actions.ml
  [etc]

and then tediously checking every change by hand.

5bf7f770b6 When calling getline first time, initialize length to zero. 
The man page for getline says:

   ssize_t getline(char **lineptr, size_t *n, FILE *stream);
 [...]
   If  *lineptr  is set to NULL and *n is set 0 before the call, then get‐
   line() will allocate a buffer for storing the line.  This buffer should
   be freed by the user program even if getline() failed.

which seems to indicate that we must initialize both line and len to 0
before the first call to getline.

In several places we were not initializing len.  The program still
worked fine, but it seems better to initialize the length anyway.

e86df90e52 guestfs-performance: Suggest using 'ts' instead of annotate. 
'ts' allows incremental timings which is a lot more useful.

bfbcc01403 Change guestfs___* to guestfs_int_* 
libguestfs has used double and triple underscores in identifiers.
These aren't valid for global names in C++.

The first step is to replace all guestfs___* (3 underscores) with
guestfs_int_*.  We've used guestfs_int_* elsewhere already as a prefix
for internal identifiers.

This is an entirely mechanical change done using:
  git ls-files | xargs perl -pi.bak -e 's/guestfs___/guestfs_int_/g'

c4dc70f8c4 podwrapper: Remove =encoding from input files and add it back in podwrapper. 
This changes podwrapper so that the input (POD) files should not
contain an =encoding directive.  However they must be UTF-8.
Podwrapper then adds the '=encoding utf8' directive back during final
generation.

This in particular avoids problems with nested =encoding directives in
fragments.  These break POD, and are undesirable anyway.
