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.

Add test cases for few edge cases which excercise the XML reporting from
libxml2 in anticipation of upcoming changes of behaviour.
'virschematest' must skip parsing of the broken file altogether so this
patch adds infrastructure to allow that.
