Eric Blake 18d561c7a4 public API: prefer unsigned int for flags 
Most APIs use 'unsigned int flags'; but a few stragglers were using
a signed value.  In particular, the vir*GetXMLDesc APIs were
split-brain, with inconsistent choice of types.  Although it is
an API break to use 'int' instead of 'unsigned int', it is ABI
compatible (pre-compiled apps will have no difference in behavior),
and generally apps can be recompiled without any issue (only rare
apps that compiled with extremely high warning levels, or which
pass libvirt API around as typed function pointers, would have to
make any code changes to deal with the change).

The migrate APIs use 'unsigned long flags', which can't be changed,
due to ABI constraints.

This patch intentionally touches only the public API, to prove the
claim that most existing code (including driver callbacks and virsh)
still compiles just fine in spite of the type change.

* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virConnectOpenAuth)
(virDomainCoreDump, virDomainGetXMLDesc, virNetworkGetXMLDesc)
(virNWFilterGetXMLDesc): Use unsigned int for flags.
(virDomainHasCurrentSnapshot): Use consistent spelling.
* src/libvirt.c (virConnectOpenAuth, virDomainCoreDump)
(virDomainGetXMLDesc, virNetworkGetXMLDesc)
(virNWFilterGetXMLDesc, do_open): Update accordingly.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
