[libvirt] [PATCH] storage: recognize gluster as networked file

A qcow2 file with a backing file of 'gluster://host/vol/file' should
not try to look for a directory named './gluster:/' in the file system.

* src/util/virstoragefile.c (virBackingStoreIsFile): Broaden check
to include all protocols.

This one will be important to my work on gluster backing chains, but
can be reviewed and applied independently now.
