Adding configuration information for the GlobalConf feature.
As part of the GlobalConf feature, a "globalconf" section is introduced
into tools.conf to provide custom configuration options for the feature.
The configuration parameters are as follows:
* enabled=false - Enable/disable the GlobalConf module.
* poll-interval=3600 - Poll interval for the GlobalConf feature.
* resource=<path> - Defines the location of the tools.conf in the
GuestStore. There is a separate default for Windows
and Linux guests.

asyncsocket.c: Use size_t in place of int type for array size and indexing.
Glibc 2.35 with GCC 11 and 12 produces additional warnings about strings
and array bounds. Switching from "int" to "size_t" type for variable
used for the array size and element indexing.
GCC warned when an integer value is passed as the size of the
struct pollfd array to poll().
Added code to skip terminated/stopped containers. This is done
by using TaskStub to retrieve the pid for the running container.
If the pid cannot be retrieved, then that container is skipped.
The previously suppressed "default" namespace has been restored.
Fixed another minor issue with calculating the number of containers
that were added.
Note: This changeset introduces a dependency on Tasks.proto, and
Tasks.proto depends on a few other proto files like mount, metrics,
descriptor and task. Modified the makefile to generate the necessary
C++ files from the proto files.
Additional notes:
- .proto -> generates .pb.h, .pb.c and .grpc.pb.cc files.
- For compiling and building the library (.so file), the .grpc.pb.{h,cc}
and .pb.{h,cc} files are needed.
- The protoc compiler generates .pb.h and .pb.c files when the --cpp_out
option is specified.
- The protoc compiler generates .grpc.pb.* when the --grpc_out option is
specified.

Update open-vm-tools to build with either Fuse 3 or Fuse 2
Vendors are requesting that open-vm-tools can be built with either
Fuse 2 or Fuse 3. While both Fuse 2 and Fuse 3 runtime can be
installed on a Linux system, vendors would prefer to switch from
Fuse 2 to Fuse 3 at the same time for all products to be available
with the base OS.
Updating the configure.ac file to check for the presence of the Fuse 3
or Fuse 2 development packages in the build environment. Providing
configure options to allow users to control the version of Fuse to be
used.
--without-fuse - vmblock-fuse and vmhgfs-fuse will be disabled.
--with-fuse=fuse3|3 - use Fuse 3.x
--with-fuse=fuse|2 - use Fuse 2.x
--with-fuse=auto - check for Fuse 3 or Fuse 2 availability; disable
vmblock-fuse and vmhgfs-fuse if unavailable.
--with-fuse - implicit "yes".
--with-fuse=yes - check for Fuse 3 or Fuse 2 availability; disable
vmblock-fuse and vmhgfs-fuse if unavailable.
The vmblock-fuse code is also used by WorkStation. Configure defines
are not available in internal builds. Reworked preprocessor tests to
use FUSE_MAJOR_VERSION from the fuse headers to determine API to be
used during compilation.
