Yes, I agree, but we should've documented it and possible check the path
provided by user and error out if it matches the prefix of our internal
paths and we shouldn't have put the path into config XML.

A lot of code in libvirt is there just to make sure that every bad
design or decision still works :).

I don't think so.  Currently we clear all of them because we match only
the prefix, this relaxes the logic only to the paths that we've actually
generated.

This code is also used to clear the path for migration so removing only
the latest format would break migration of guests that would use the old
format.  You can have a running guest, you update libvirt and restart
the daemon and after that you try to migrate and it suddenly fails, that
would be a regression.  It would also break incoming migration from
libvirt that doesn't clear the path before sending an XML.

We need to live with the fact, that the generated-path wasn't somehow
distinguished from path provided by user and because of that we need
to have an extra code to handle it.

Nice catch, I'll fix it.

That's exactly what I wanted to avoid, escaping the path where we can
simply use STRPREFIX and STRNEQ.
