Erik Skultety 321293e2a3 ci: Drop the prepare.sh script
The purpose of this script was to prepare a customized environment in
the container, but was actually never used and it required the usage of
sudo to switch the environment from root's context to a regular user's
one.
The thing is that once someone needs a custom script they would very
likely to debug something and would also benefit from root privileges
in general, so the usage of 'sudo' in such case was a bit cumbersome.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:

https://libvirt.org
