[libvirt] [PATCH] Add parameter to wait for lock in file locking APIs

Our current pidfile acquire APis (virPidFileAcquire) simply return -1 upon
failure to acquire a lock. This patch adds a parameter 'bool waitForLock'
which instructs the APIs if we want to make it block and wait for the lock
or not.
