This will come back in some form or another later, but for now
don't clutter the API with non-working stuff. Removing stuff from APIs
is not possible without breaking the API, adding stuff later is simpler.
Use SR_API to mark public API symbols, and SR_PRIV for private symbols.
Variables and functions marked 'static' are private already and don't
need SR_PRIV. However, functions which are not static (because they need
to be used in other libsigrok-internal files) but are also not meant to
be part of the public libsigrok API, must use SR_PRIV.
This uses the 'visibility' feature of gcc (requires gcc >= 4.0).

In the lib, we should only #include "sigrok.h" or "sigrok-internal.h",
but not the (possibly installed and thus different/older versions) via
<sigrok.h> or <sigrok-internal.h>.
Frontends should of course use <sigrok.h> and <sigrok-internal.h>.
This is useful to allow frontends to react upon close failures in a
way they see fit (e.g. a popup in the GUI, or error message in the CLI).
They can also still ignore the error if they want, of course.
The g_malloc()/g_malloc0() versions exit/segfault if not enough memory
is available, which is not a good thing in libsigrok.
Instead, we use the g_try_malloc()/g_try_malloc0() variants, which
return NULL if not enough memory is available, so that the caller can
handle the error properly.
We should use these (internal) functions in libsigrok exclusively from
now on, i.e. no more use of glib's g_debug() etc.
These functions are only for libsigrok, the frontends use whatever
logging mechanism is suitable there.
When no firmware file is found, return the right error code so sigrok
doesn't continue running with no firmware loaded.
Thanks Martin Stensgård <mastensg@ping.uio.no> for the patch!
Until now the build would break if the user doesn't enable at least one
of the libusb1.0-based LAs. I.e., you could not compile only OLS, or
only the demo driver.
If the device is closed without previously running hw_openedev
the driver crashes (happens in cleanup). This patch checks
if the device has been opened.
