[libvirt] [PATCH 0/5] Support for marking domains as "tainted" (v2)

There are various configurations for virtual domains that we allow,
but do not wish to actively support in production environments.
The support situation is similar to that of binary only or non-GPL
kernel modules, so borrow the kernel's idea of "tainting".

When an undesirable configuration is used on a running VM, set a
suitable taint flag and log a warning. OS distro bug triagers can
see these warnings and decide whether to support users filing bugs
in this scenarios

In v2:

 - Split up the 3rd patch into 3 pieces
 - Add a dedicated API for appending a formatted string to
   the domain logfile (optionally opening the log if not
   already opened)
 - Use 'enum virDomainTaintFlags' for parameters instead of 'int'
