[PATCH 01/38] virlog: Return void instead of int in virLogReset<Foo> methods

[Erik Skultety <eskultet@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In this particular case, reset is meant as clearing the whole list of
outputs/filters, not resetting it to a predefined default setting. Looking at
it from that perspective, returning the number of records removed doesn't help
the caller in any way (not that any of the callers would actually check for
it). Well, callers could detect an error from the number of successfully
removed records, but the only thing that can fail in virLogReset is force
closing a file descriptor in which case the error isn't propagated back to
virLogReset anyway. Conclusion: there is no practical use for having a return
type of 'int' rather than 'void' in this case.
