There's a closed pull request on the void-packages repository

New package: libguestfs-tools 1.48.0
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/37416

Description:
<!-- Uncomment relevant sections and delete options which are not applicable -->

#### Testing the changes
- I tested the changes in this PR: **YES**

#### New package
- This new package conforms to the [quality requirements](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/Manual.md#quality-requirements): **YES**

perl-Locale-TextDomain is only introduced for the script in perl.

libguestfs-tools is not technically now, some time ago it was part of libguestfs.    Some tools were split into their own packages before libguestfs 1.45.2 and split into this package, see:

    https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/733d2182b64df7abc5c5cd7d78177baa6079628c

Without this package, important tools like virt-sysprep were not provided at all.

The package is guestfs-tools but all other distributions align the package name with libguestfs.

Note that the test suite is very resource-intensive, needs to download 100+MB of images, and runs VMs for several of the tests for several minutes, which I don't think are reasonable for commit-time tests.  They have been successful otherwise, apart from test-virt-sysprep-script.sh, which has been disabled.

Part of the test suite is downloading a test VM image, which is roughly the purpose of the `update-libguestfs-appliance` script in  the base libguestfs package, however, it's not designed to run as a normal user in the chroot test pass.

(It also refers to an image which is no longer available, but I'm not sure what's the best approach to make it work, as it's only needed for the test suite, which is not nice at all to be run in a CI environment)

Perhaps to be coordinated with @Hoshpak (I don't insist staying the maintainer for these new entries, but don't mind it either)
