[libvirt] [PATCH] Use 'qemu-system-i386' as binary instead of 'qemu'.

I have added the attached patch to Fedora because Fedora (only?)
renames 'qemu' to 'qemu-system-i386'.  As a result of this, on 32 bit
Fedora would run 'qemu-system-x86_64 [...] -cpu qemu32'.

In fact this caused no issues (I originally added the patch because
I suspected this was a cause of RHBZ#857026, but that doesn't
appear to be the case).  But if we're going to package qemu-system-i386
we might as well run it.  The alternative would be to delete that
binary altogether if it does nothing useful ...

Rich.
