util/xml: open XML files before calling libxml2

Browse Source 
Libxml2 has awful error reporting behaviour when reading files. When
we fail to load a file from the test driver we see:

  $ virsh -c test:///wibble.xml
  I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/wibble.xml"
  error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
  error: XML error: failed to parse xml document '/wibble.xml'

where the I/O warning line is something printed by libxml2 itself,
which also lacks any useful detail.

Switching to our own file reading code we can massively improve
things:

  $ ./build/tools/virsh -c test:///wibble.xml
  error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
  error: Failed to open file '/wibble.xml': No such file or directory

Using 10 MB as an upper limit on XML file size ought to be sufficient
for any XML files libvirt is reading.
