[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix domain restore for files on root-squash NFS.

If qemudDomainRestore fails to open the domain save file, create a
pipe, then fork a process that does setuid(qemu_user) and opens the
file, then reads this file and stuffs it into the pipe. the parnet
libvirtd process will use the other end of the pipe as its fd, then
reap the child process after its done reading.

This makes domain restore work on a root-squash NFS share that is only
visible to the qemu user.
