Other issues:
* The license removed this clause:

I believe this removal simply makes the license even more permissive, so that's fine. However I will check with our legal people. Also you should add license headers to the new files plugins/rust/tests/*.rs. Essentially every file should have a license, and correct licensing is very important to us.
This change is replacing 3-clause BSD with 2-clause BSD. Shouldn't cuase any actual difference for consumers, but seems like a needless change to be making.

My reasoning was that the 2-clause license is preferred for new code (at least in every other community where I've active), and this plugin is new code. But I can add the 3rd clause back if libguestfs likes it. -Alan
