This series adds several bits of guest information provided by a new API
function virDomainGetGuestInfo(). There is an implementation for qemu using the
guest agent. In particular, it adds information about logged-in users, guest
OS, timezone, hostname, and filesystem info.

This is the second version of this patch series. Various things were improved,
but the biggest difference is that this version includes filesystem
information. Filesystem information is already accessible via the public API
virDomainGetFSInfo(), but recent versions of the qemu guest agent added
additional information, and the existing public API is not able to be extended
without breaking API since it returns a C struct. This new API uses typed
parameters so that it can be extended as necessary when new fields are added.

The overall API follows the bulk stats API quite closely, and tries to return
data in similar ways (for example, the "users.N.*" field name scheme was
inspired by various stats fields).

It should be noted that like version 1 of this patch series, the API still only
operates on a single domain, not a list of domains. I'm willing to consider
changing the API to operate on a list of domains if that is the concensus, but
I lean toward keeping it simpler.

Here's an example of the output of the virsh command added in this patch
operating on a fedora 30 guest:
virsh # guestinfo fedora30
user.count          : 1
user.0.name         : test

In contrast, here is the output of the virsh command operating on a fedora24
guest:
virsh # guestinfo  fedora24
error: Reconnected to the hypervisor
fs.count            : 2
fs.0.name           : dm-0
fs.0.mountpoint     : /
fs.0.fstype         : ext4
fs.0.disk.count     : 1
fs.0.disk.0.alias   : vda
fs.1.name           : vda1
fs.1.mountpoint     : /boot
fs.1.fstype         : ext4
fs.1.disk.count     : 1
fs.1.disk.0.alias   : vda

However, if you specifically request an info category that is not supported by
the guest agent:
virsh # guestinfo --user fedora24
error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU agent command 'guest-get-users': 
The command guest-get-users has not been found
