[PATCH 0/9] Some Coverity memory leak patches

Even though I changed roles, the cron job still runs.  I recently
updated to a newer coverity version and it found some new stuff and
even more false positives. It's still very unhappy with the usage
of GLIB_DEPRECATED_ENUMERATOR_IN_* macros for *glib/gspawn.h and
*gobject/gparam.h, but I can work around that. I had to disable
the use_after_free type checking because the virObject to GObject
change just caused a large number of possible false positives for
virObjectUnref usages (coverity cannot keep track of all the counts).

Anyway, I had a few spare cycles, so I figured I'd pass along at
least the memory leak and usage things that were found. I haven't
posted in a while so hopefully I haven't missed some subtlety.

FWIW: I no longer have commit access so I'm at the mercy of someone
      else pushing my patches now.
