Replace strange $TEST_FUNCTIONS variable/expansion thing with
something more like what we use in nbdkit, a simple tests/functions.sh
script that gets sourced into each test script.
Update the common submodule to get:

mlcustomize, mltools: Replace $TEST_FUNCTIONS
TEST_FUNCTIONS is being removed from libguestfs and guestfs-tools (it
was removed from virt-v2v a while back). Make the same adjustment in
the common submodule.
(and some other commits which are not relevant to libguestfs)
This was not being set because of some impenetrable problem with
autoconf. The actual line which set the shell variable was simply
being deleted for some reason. Using an m4 definition works.

The presence of this file complicates ./configure and you also have to
remember to update it on each release. Replace it with a simple
RELEASE_DATE set in ./configure when the version is updated.
I also had to make a minor change to the generator which was using
this file both to check it was run from the source directory and to
get an exclusive lock. We now use podwrapper.pl.in for this.
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').
OCaml is required to compile libguestfs, however we should still be
able to disable the OCaml bindings. This didn't work because using
--disable-ocaml caused various configure tests to be skipped which are
required to compile the daemon. In particular the check for
caml_alloc_initialized_string, resulting in this error:
pcre-c.c:47:1: error: static declaration of ‘caml_alloc_initialized_string’ follows non-static declaration
caml_alloc_initialized_string (mlsize_t len, const char *p)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also OCaml gettext is not required by libguestfs. There are no *.ml
files used by libguestfs which require translation.
