Subject: [PATCH 3/4] tools: Use C API for inspection (RHBZ#642930).
Update the following tools to use the C API for inspection:
- virt-cat
- virt-edit
- virt-ls
- virt-tar
- virt-win-reg
None of the tools in the tools/ directory now use the deprecated
Perl inspection APIs.

This is pretty long for boiler plate code which will be used in all the
virt tools, including virt-v2v. This should live in a high-level library
function which:
1. Inspects a guest.
2. Mounts all its storage, optionally read-only.
It wouldn't necessarily need to form part of a published API
