Re: [PATCH 3/8] conf: replace g_clear_pointer(..., g_hash_table_unref) with virHashFree()

virHashFree() just calls g_hash_table_unref(), and it's more
common
for libvirt code to call virHashFree() rather than the convoluted
calling of g_hash_table_unref() via g_clear_pointer().
Since the object containing the hashes is g_freed immediately after
the hashes are freed, there is no functional difference.

virHashFree documents itself as being deprecated in favor of
g_hash_table_unref().
While I like our virSomething wrappers (mostly because I'm used to them
more than to their glib counterparts; but then you also have glib
functions when one thinks that glib implementation is interchangeable
with ours but it isn't - devil's in the details), I think our intent is
to drop virHashFree().
But then again - we didn't, instead we replaced virHash* internals with
glib, so I can argue that being consistent is more important than being
progressive.
Your call, but since you build next patch on this one, I'm inclined to
say it's okay to merge it.
