Implement libtool library versioning.
Use maximum proc_nr (MAX_PROC_NR) as a surrogate for the library ABI version, resulting in version numbers such as libguestfs.so.0.<MAX_PROC_NR>.0 for the final library. Add ABI guarantee to the documentation.

=head1 HIGH-LEVEL API ACTIONS
+=head2 ABI GUARANTEE
+
+We guarantee the libguestfs ABI (binary interface), for public,
+high-level actions as outlined in this section. Although we will
+deprecate some actions, for example if they get replaced by newer
+calls, we will keep the old actions forever. This allows you the
+developer to program in confidence against libguestfs.
