[libvirt] Release of libvirt-1.2.6

As planned I have tagged the release in git and pushed the tarball as well as signed rpms to the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I also tagged 1.2.6 for the libvirt tree and pushed the associated release to its own tree: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/python/ Looks like a well balanced release, some new user visible features, a number of bugs fixes, lot of improvement accross the whole code, and a bit less than 300 patches in.
