[libvirt] [PATCH] util: change virFile*Pid functions to return < 0 on failure

Although most functions in libvirt return 0 on success and < 0 on
failure, there are a few functions lingering around that return errno
(a positive value) on failure, and sometimes code calling those
functions incorrectly assumes the <0 standard. I noticed one of these
the other day when auditing networkStartDhcpDaemon after Guido Gunther
found a place where success was improperly returned on failure (that
patch has been acked and is pending a push). The problem was that it
expected the return value from virFileReadPid to be < 0 on failure,
but it was actually positive (it was also neglected to set the return
code in this case, similar to the bug found by Guido).

This all led to the fact that *all* of the virFile*Pid functions in
util.c are returning errno on failure. This patch remedies that
problem by changing them all to return -errno on failure, and makes
any necessary changes to callers of the functions. (In the meantime, I
also properly set the return code on failure of virFileReadPid in
networkStartDhcpDaemon).
