Why? If I use GetShortName, then there's the possibility that two 
domains would want to use the same name for the pidfile.

Would it be better to use the domain's UUID (as I did for the socket 
path?) The advantage of using the name is that it's easier for a human 
to find, but while the uuid is usually longer, its length is at least 
predictable/consistent, and I suppose a human will probably never need 
to find the pidfile anyway...

It's a new option that hasn't been pushed to QEMU upstream yet. I had 
meant to completely remove it, but forgot. I'll get rid of it before I push.
