guestfs_mount adds -o sync implicitly. This causes a very large
performance problem for write-intensive programs (eg. virt-v2v).
Document this as a "gotcha".
Change the tests, guestfish, Sys::Guestfs::Lib, guestmount to use
mount-options instead.
(Note that this gotcha does not affect mount-ro).
The source of the performance problem was first identified by
Matthew Booth.

This commit introduces a generic partition creation interface
which should be future-proof and extensible, and partially
replaces the old sfdisk-based interface.
The implementation is based on parted but is hopefully not too
dependent on the particulars of parted.
The following new calls are introduced:
guestfs_part_init:
Initialize a disk with a partition table. Unlike the sfdisk-
based interface, we also support GPT and other partition
types, which is essential to scale to devices larger than 2TB.
guestfs_part_add: Add a partition to an existing disk.
guestfs_part_disk:
Convenience function which combines part_init & part_add,
creating a single partition that covers the whole disk.
guestfs_part_set_bootable:
guestfs_part_set_name:
Set various aspects of existing partitions.
guestfs_part_list:
List partitions on a device. This returns a programming-friendly
list of partition structs (in contrast to sfdisk-l which cannot
be parsed).
guestfs_part_get_parttype:
Return the partition table type, eg. "msdos" or "gpt".
The following calls are planned, but not added currently:
guestfs_part_get_bootable
guestfs_part_get_name
guestfs_part_set_type
guestfs_part_get_type

This commit changes guestfs_launch so that it both launches
the appliance and waits until it is ready (ie. the daemon communicates
back to us).
Since we removed the pretence that we could implement a low-level
asynchronous API, the need to call launch() followed by wait_ready()
has looked a bit silly.
Now guestfs_wait_ready() is basically a no-op. It is left in the
API for backwards compatibility. Any calls to guestfs_wait_ready()
can be removed from client code.

This adds a readdir call (mostly intended for programs). The
return value is a list of guestfs_dirent structures.
This adds the new types 'struct guestfs_dirent' and
'struct guestfs_dirent_list', along with all the code to
return these in the different language bindings.
Also includes additional tests for OCaml and Perl bindings
to test this.
