[Libguestfs] [nbdkit PATCH v2 0/5] log appends

v2 turned out to be much more involved, as I ended up fixing
several things along the way that I noticed while debugging a
feature addition.

Eric Blake (5):
  maint: Improve ./nbdkit option parsing
  main: Saner newline printing during --help
  utils: Add nbdkit_parse_bool
  main: Use new bool parser for --tls
  log: Allow user option of appending to log

[Libguestfs] [nbdkit PATCH v2 1/5] maint: Improve ./nbdkit option parsing

We had several poor option-parsing actions in our ./nbdkit wrapper:

Attempting './nbdkit --filter' went into an infloop with growing
memory, because bash treats 'shift 2' when $# as a soft error (which
we ignored) without even shifting 1, such that $# never decreases
but $args[] continues to grow (dash, on the other hand, follows the
POSIX recommendation of a hard error with immediate script termination
in a non-interactive shell).  Fix by checking that $# is large enough
before attempting to shift 2.

Commit 091ce402 tried to make './nbdkit --export=foo' work the
same as './nbdkit --export foo' - but has no testsuite coverage,
and silently eats the option instead.  Fix by incrementing i in
that case label.

Attempting './nbdkit --ipaddr=$addr plugin' doesn't special case
'plugin' properly, because we forgot to special-case '--ip*=*'
similarly to --export and --pid.  Fix by generalizing the early
glob to catch ALL longopts used with = rather than just a select
few, but only after we have handled the special-casing of
--filter[=] first (the biggest part of this patch is thus code
motion).

We forgot to add -D/--debug and --log from recent command line
additions.  Fix by adding more patterns; and split the long line
while at it.

Not fixed: the real nbdkit allows things like 'nbdkit -thr 1 ...'
while we don't; it's not worth teaching our debug wrapper about
unambiguous abbreviations.

[Libguestfs] [nbdkit PATCH v2 2/5] main: Saner newline printing during --help

We are inconsistent on whether our plugins and filters end in
a newline; as a result, things like
  nbdkit --help --filter=log --filter=nozero --filter=delay memory
have inconsistent spacing between sections.  Rather than documenting
whether the user must have/avoid a trailing newline, it's nicer to
just supply one ourselves only when it is missing.

Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>

I'm not sure if it's worth factoring out a helper function that
either prints newline or returns ""/"\n" based on whether
the
passed in parameter ends in newline; in this patch,  it is
open-coded 4 times.

[Libguestfs] [nbdkit PATCH v2 4/5] main: Use new bool parser for --tls

Our use of --tls is a superset of boolean because we add a
force mode; but once we have checked for that, it's more
consistent if we accept the same set of other boolean values
as anything else (in this case, adding 'yes/no' and
'true/false'),
as well as consistently allowing case-insensitivity.  The error
message for an unrecognized spelling changes from:

$ nbdkit --tls huh
nbdkit: --tls flag must be off|on|require

to:

$ nbdkit --tls huh
nbdkit: error: could not decipher boolean (huh)

but I don't think that hurts too much.
