[Libguestfs] [PATCH nbdkit 1/8] python: Use PyObject_CallFunction instead of constructing the tuple.

It is unclear why we were constructing this by hand, but using the
following tip we can use PyObject_CallFunction:

[Libguestfs] [PATCH nbdkit 2/8] python: Add various constants to the API.

These are accessible from the plugin by:

  import nbdkit

  if flags & nbdkit.FLAG_MAY_TRIM:
  &c.

Many (all?) of these are not yet useful for plugins, some will never
be useful, but they only consume a tiny bit of memory and it's nice to
have the complete set available for future use.

[Libguestfs] [PATCH nbdkit 3/8] python: Implement nbdkit API version 2.

To avoid breaking existing plugins, Python plugins wishing to use
version 2 of the API must opt in by declaring:

  def api_version():
    return 2

(Plugins which do not do this are assumed to want API version 1).

This is wrong because can_cache (like can_fua) returns NONE | EMULATE |
NATIVE.

I'm working on an updated patch series + test which fixes this.

The use of trailing ', NULL' is appears to be copy-and-paste from my 
earlier commit 5ae45c00, where I used it on 3 of the 4 conversions made 
there.  It is not necessary, nor is it mentioned in the mentioned 
stackoverflow link.  If you have a format string, a trailing NULL is not 
necessary because the format string tells how many varargs to consume; 
but with PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs, a trailing NULL is necessary 
because there is no format string and the varargs are parsed as a series 
of Python objects until a trailing NULL terminator is encountered.

I've pushed an obvious cleanup patch.
