[Libguestfs] lib: Convert all drive socket parameters to an absolute path

One interesting omission is that we don't allow sockets in the
abstract namespace.  The API won't let you pass these sockets because
they contain a '\0' character in the middle of the string.  Therefore
this patch doesn't need to deal with those.

However we should in future allow that, probably using the '@'
character to stand in for the NUL byte, as is used in a few other
places (eg. this is used by the ‘netstat’ program).
