[libvirt] [RFC 1/3] qemu: Create domain master key

Add a masterKey to _qemuDomainObjPrivate to store a base64 encoded domain
master key in order to support the ability to encrypt/decrypt sensitive
data shared between libvirt and qemu. The base64 encoded value will be
written to the domain XML file for consistency between domain restarts.

Two APIs qemuDomainWriteMasterKeyFile and qemuDomainGetMasterKeyFilePath
will manage the details of the file manipulation.

The Get*Path API can be used in order to return a path to the master
secret key file, which will be a combination of the domain's libDir
(e.g. /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-#-$NAME/) and a name 'master.key'.
Use of the domain's libDir was chosen as opposed to a more generic
/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/$NAME-master.key since it's a domain specific
area rather than repeating issues found as a result of using the
domain name in a file. The Get*Path API doesn't check if the
libDir exists, it just generates the path.

The Write*File API will be used to create the on disk master secret file
once the domain lib infrastructure is generated during qemuProcessLaunch.

The masterKey is generated as a series of 8 bit random numbers stored
as a 32 byte string and then base64 encoded before saving in the domain
private object.

A separate function will generate the key as it's expected to be utilized
by future patches to support the generation of the initialization vector.

Object removal will clear and free the secret as well as check for the
presence of the master key file and remove it if necessary (although it
shouldn't be necessary by this point in time, but being extra safe).

During process launch, the key value will additionally be stored in
the domain libDir. This is what will be used to share the secret with
qemu via a secret object. The secret file will only present while the
domain is active (e.g. create at Launch, delete at Stop).

During process stop, logic is added to check if the path to the
domain libDir secret exists and then to clear the contents of the
file before the directory tree is removed. The path will not exist
for a domain already running prior to support being added for the
master key and it'd be annoying to get errors indicating it doesn't
exist when it was never created.
