[PATCH 2/3] virfile: Simplify virFindFileInPath() with g_find_program_in_path()

The behavior is a little bit different when using
g_find_program_in_path(), when the `file` contains a relative path, the
original function would return a absolute path, but the
g_find_program_in_path() would probably return a relative one.

Other conditions would be fine, so just use g_find_program_in_path() to
simplify the implementation. Note that when PATH is not set,
g_find_program_in_path() will search in `/bin:/usr/bin:.`.
