[Libguestfs] [nbdkit PATCH 0/2] Python cleanups

I noticed these while working on adding fua support into python,
these are independent enough to push now (and I'll have to rebase
my 'optional may_trim' patch on top of this).

[Libguestfs] [nbdkit PATCH 1/2] python: Use Py_XDEFREF()

No need to do a NULL check ourself, when we can just use the
write Python wrapper.

[Libguestfs] [nbdkit PATCH 2/2] python: Simplify calling into plugin

PyObject_CallObject is powerful, but awkward - we have to wrap
all arguments into a temporary tuple before using it.

Let python do more of the work by using PyObject_CallFunction
anywhere that all arguments can be described by a Py_BuildValue()
format string, instead of creating one-shot arguments ourselves.
In fact, for our py_config(), this makes it easier to not worry
about python 2 String vs. python 3 Unicode.

Similarly, PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs is nicer when we
already have PyObjects for all parameters (including in py_open(),
where we can't use a Py_BuildValue() string for converting a
C int into Py_True or Py_False, but can easily avoid the tuple
wrapper).

py_zero() is not converted, as it will be changed differently
to make 'may_trim' an optional callback parameter.

This leaks the PyByteArray object.  Will fix.

In fact, this patch is a corner-case bug fix.  Here, and in all sorts of
similar places, we are failing to check for args == NULL (unlikely
except on OOM conditions, but still a valid error condition, where we
would presumably have a nice Python error object to report failure with)...

...and instead passing NULL on to a function that would crash.  We are
likewise not checking for errors here (although such errors should never
be possible).

The replacement code is not only shorter, it has fewer places to worry
about corner-case boilerplate error checking.

Yes these patches seem fine to me, ACK.
