[PATCH] build: allow virObject to have no parent

[Eric Blake <eblake@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When building with static analysis enabled, we turn on attribute
nonnull checking.  However, this caused the build to fail with:

../../src/util/virobject.c: In function 'virObjectOnceInit':
../../src/util/virobject.c:55:40: error: null argument where non-null required (argument 1) [-Werror=nonnull]

Creation of the virObject class is the one instance where the
parent class is allowed to be NULL, so making things conditional
will let us keep static analysis checking for all other callers,
without breaking the build on the one exception.

* src/util/virobject.c: Define witness.
* src/util/virobject.h (virClassNew): Use it to force most callers
to pass non-null parameter.
---

I couldn't bring myself to push this under the build breaker rule,
so I'll wait for a review.
