This offers a number of advantages:
* Allows sharing a home directory between different machines, or
sessions (eg. using NFS)
* Cleanly separates cache, runtime (eg. sockets), or app data from
user settings
* Supports performing smart or selective migration of settings
between different OS versions
* Supports reseting settings without breaking things
* Makes it possible to clear cache data to make room when the disk
is filling up
* Allows us to write a robust and efficient backup solution
* Allows an admin flexibility to change where data and settings are stored
* Dramatically reduces the complexity and incoherence of the
system for administrators
* daemon/libvirtd-config.c (daemonConfigFree): fix memory leaks.

Rename existing daemonConfigLoad API to daemonConfigLoadFile and
add an alternative daemonConfigLoadData
* daemon/libvirtd-config.c, daemon/libvirtd-config.h: Add
daemonConfigLoadData and rename daemonConfigLoad to
daemonConfigLoadFile
* daemon/libvirtd.c: Update for renamed API
To enable creation of unit tests, split the libvirtd config file
loading code out into separate files.
* daemon/libvirtd.c: Delete config loading code / structs
* daemon/libvirtd-config.c, daemon/libvirtd-config.h: Config
file loading APIs
