[PATCH RFC 10/10] qemu: Place helper processes into the same trusted group

Since the level of trust that QEMU has is the same level of trust
that helper processes have there's no harm in placing all of them
into the same group.

Unfortunately, since these processes are started before QEMU we
can't use brand new virCommand*() APIs (those are used on hotplug
though) and have to use the low level virProcess*() APIs.

Moreover, because there no (kernel) API that would copy cookie
from one process to another WITHOUT modifying the cookie of the
process that's doing the copy, we have to fork() and use
available copy APIs.
