[libvirt] [PATCH 01/75] src: Don't rely on virAsprintf() returning string length

[Michal Privoznik]

In a few places our code relies on the fact that virAsprintf()
not only prints to allocated string but also that it returns the
length of that string. Fortunately, only few such places were
identified:

  https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2019-September/msg01382.html

In case of virNWFilterSnoopLeaseFileWrite() and virFilePrintf()
we can use strlen() right after virAsprintf() to calculate the
length. In case of virDoubleToStr() it's only caller checks for
error case only, so we can limit the set of returned values to
just [-1, 0].
