Roman Bolshakov dbe922c945 tests: Fix mock chaining on macOS
Some tests in qemuxml2argvtest need opendir() from virpcimock, others
need opendir() from virfilewrapper.

But as of now, only opendir() from virpcimock has an effect.
real_opendir in virpcimock has a pointer to opendir$INODE64 in
libsystem_kernel.dylib instead of pointing to opendir$INODE64 in
qemuxml2argvtest (from virfilewrapper). And because the second one is
never used, tests that rely on prefixes added by virFileWrapperAddPrefix
fail.

That can be fixed if dlsym(3) is asked explicitly to search symbols in
main executable with RTLD_MAIN_ONLY before going to other dylibs.
Existing RTLD_NEXT handle results into libsystem_kernel.dylib being
searched before main executable.

==============================
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:
