That _is_ the desired default location for qemu:///session, and can be
further tuned by setting appropriate values for XDG_CONFIG_DIR
(defaulting to $HOME/.config) and contents of
$XDG_CONFIG_DIR/libvirt/libvirtd.conf (set the log_outputs config
variable).  Only qemu:///system (for privileged users) has permissions
to write into /var/log.
