This also makes the test for license "code" less strict, so it should
only match POD, not Perl comments.

This fixes commit 2f97bf873b64384835f257f8916bf1ebb2af62b4.

The compress flag can be used to control compression, one of: (none),
"compress", "gzip", "bzip2", "xz", "lzop".  Thus these calls can now
be used instead of tgz-in/tgz-out/txz-in/txz-out, and also support
more compression types.

Mark these APIs as once_had_no_optargs so that compatibility code is
generated.

<title>New API: guestfs_shutdown: Cleanly shutdown the backend.</title>

<id>ffbf1475f7ae7c462db289ad4834391469e72edd</id>
<content type='text'>
The new API splits orderly close into a two-step process:

  if (guestfs_shutdown (g) == -1) {
    /* handle the error, eg. qemu error */
  }
  guestfs_close (g);

Note that the explicit shutdown step is only necessary in the case
where you have made changes to the disk image and want to handle write
errors.  Read the documentation for further information.

This change also:

 - deprecates guestfs_kill_subprocess

 - turns guestfs_kill_subprocess into the same as guestfs_shutdown

 - changes guestfish and other tools to call shutdown + close
   where necessary (not for read-only tools)

 - updates documentation

 - updates examples

Turn:

 =item B&lt;-a&gt; | B&lt;--all&gt;

into:

 =item B&lt;-a&gt;

 =item B&lt;--all&gt;

This gives a more natural-looking manual page, as well as making it
easier to directly link to these sections.

Update the following tools to use the C API for inspection:

 - virt-cat
 - virt-edit
 - virt-ls
 - virt-tar
 - virt-win-reg

None of the tools in the tools/ directory now use the deprecated
Perl inspection APIs.
