[Libvir] PATCH: Don't make connection read-only when non-root

[Daniel P. Berrange]

The virsh commands has long forced the connection to be read-only if running
as non-root. This is bogus because it is perfectly capable of authenticating
full read-write connections as non-root since we gained kerberos/policykit
support. The user can always use the explicit --readonly flag if they only
want a read only connection
