[libvirt] [PATCH v3 2/4] storage: report error rather than warning if backing files doesn't exist

If one of backing files for disk source doesn't exist, the guest will not
be able to find and use the disk even though the disk still exists in
guest xml definition. So reporting an error make more sense.

Adding virFileAccessibleAs() to check if the backing file described in
disk meta exist in real path. If not, report error. the uid and gid
arguments don't have so much meannings for F_OK, so give 0 for them.
