Richard W.M. Jones 02b64d5cec generator: Use quoted string literals in many places 
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.

Thanks: Nicolas Ojeda Bar

PNG image (re-encoded to PNG if necessary).
If it was not possible to get an icon this function returns a
zero-length (non-NULL) buffer. I<Callers must check for this case>.
Libguestfs will start by looking for a file called
F</etc/favicon.png> or F<C:\etc\favicon.png>
and if it has the correct format, the contents of this file will
be returned. You can disable favicons by passing the
optional C<favicon> boolean as false (default is true).
If finding the favicon fails, then we look in other places in the
guest for a suitable icon.
If the optional C<highquality> boolean is true then
only high quality icons are returned, which means only icons of
high resolution with an alpha channel. The default (false) is
to return any icon we can, even if it is of substandard quality.

Unlike most other inspection API calls, the guest’s disks must be
mounted up before you call this, since it needs to read information
from the guest filesystem during the call.
=item *
B<Security:> The icon data comes from the untrusted guest,
and should be treated with caution. PNG files have been
known to contain exploits. Ensure that libpng (or other relevant
libraries) are fully up to date before trying to process or
display the icon.
=item *
The PNG image returned can be any size. It might not be square.
Libguestfs tries to return the largest, highest quality
icon available. The application must scale the icon to the
required size.
=item *
Extracting icons from Windows guests requires the external
L<wrestool(1)> program from the C<icoutils> package, and
several programs (L<bmptopnm(1)>, L<pnmtopng(1)>, L<pamcut(1)>)
from the C<netpbm> package. These must be installed separately.
=item *
Operating system icons are usually trademarks. Seek legal
advice before using trademarks in applications.
