[libvirt] [PATCHv2 2/3] conf: Add new 'append' attribute for chardevs with file source

[Dmitry Mishin]

Currently, there is no possibility for user to specify desired behaviour of
output to file - truncate or append. This patch adds an ability to explicitly
specify that user wants to preserve file's content on reopen.
