[libvirt] [PATCH] qemuBuildMemPathStr: Produce -mem-path more frequently

[Michal Privoznik]

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1622455

If a domain is configured to use <source type='file'/> under
<memoryBacking/> we have to honour that setting and produce
-mem-path on the command line. We are not doing so if domain has
no guest NUMA nodes nor hugepages.
