This patch adds export of the new API function
virConnectListAllDomains() to the libvirt-python bindings. The
virConnect object now has method "listAllDomains" that takes only the
flags parameter and returns a python list of virDomain object
corresponding to virDomainPtrs returned by the underlying api.
The implementation is done manually as the generator does not support
wrapping list of virDomainPtrs into virDomain objects.

Just noticed another thing:
+ <function name='virConnectListAllDomains'
file='python'>
+ <info>returns list of all defined domains</info>
+ <arg name='conn' type='virConnectPtr' info='pointer to the
hypervisor connection'/>
+ <arg name='flags' type='unsigned int' info='optional
flags'/>
This does not expose any way to trigger the underlying C code of passing
NULL as a means of just counting. That might be useful, so maybe we need:
conn.numOfAllDomains
in python code, which wraps virConnectListAllDomains but passes NULL and
returns just an integer instead of a list. After all, if we make RPC
more efficient for just counting when passing NULL, then it is feasible
to write python code that could benefit from that efficiency.
