Cole Robinson 4254dfea78 python: Use PyCapsule API if available
On Fedore 14, virt-manager spews a bunch of warnings to the console:

/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py:1781: PendingDeprecationWarning: The CObject type is marked Pending Deprecation in Python 2.7.  Please use capsule objects instead.

Have libvirt use the capsule API if available. I've verified this compiles
fine on older python (2.6 in RHEL6 which doesn't have capsules), and
virt-manager seems to function fine.

    libvirt Python Bindings README
    ==============================

Most of the libvirt python binding code is automatically generated
using the script  generator.py, and the API description from
docs/libvirt-api.xml


Manually written files:

 - libvirt-override.c: methods where the C binding needs to be hand crafted
 - libvirt-override.py: global methods where the C and python bindings have different args
 - libvirt-override-api.xml: methods where the auto-extracted API docs are not
   suitable for python auto-generator. Overriding this if the method is going
   into libvirt-override.c, but we still want auto-generated libvirt-override.py
 - libvirt-override-virConnect.py: virConnect class methods
 - typewrappers.h,.c: Python object wrappers for each libvirt C object


Auto-generated files:

  - libvirt.py: The main python binding. Comprises auto-generated code, along
    with contents from libvirt-override.py and libvirt-override-virConnect.py
  - libvirt.c, libvirt.h: The C glue layer for the python binding. Comprises
    auto-generated code, along with libvirt-override.c
  - libvirt-export.c: List of auto-generated C methods, included into
    the libvirt-override.c method table
