[libvirt] PATCH: 4/5: Support daemonizing child & env variables

Some of the existing usage of fork/exec in libvirt is done such that the
child process is daemonized. In particular the libvirt_proxy and the
auto-spawned  libvirtd for qemu:///session. Since we want to switch these
to use virExec, we need to suport a daemon mode.

This patch removes the two alternate virExec and virExecNonBlock functions
and renames the internal __virExec to virExec. It then gains a 'flags'
parameter which can be used to specify non-blocking mode, or daemon mode.

We also add the ability to pass in a list of environment variables which
get passed on to execve(). We also now explicitly close all file handles.
Although libvirt code is careful to set O_CLOSEXEC on all its file handles,
in multi-threaded apps there is a race condition between opening a FD and
setting O_CLOSEXEC. Furthermore, we can't guarentee that all applications
using libvirt are careful to set O_CLOSEXEC. Leaking FDs to a child is a
potential security risk and often causes SELinux AVCs to be raised. Thus
explicitely  closing all FDs is a important safety net.
