[libvirt] [PATCH v1 1/7] pidfile: Make checking binary path in virPidFileRead optional

This patch changes behavior of virPidFileRead to enable passing NULL as
path to the binary the pid file should be checked against to skip this
check. This enables using this function for reading files that have same
semantics as pid files, but belong to unknown processess.
