If a cgroup controller is co-mounted with another, eg
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct
Then it is a requirement that there exist symlinks at
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct
pointing to the real mount point. Add support to virCgroupPtr
to detect and track these symlinks

The virCgroupNewDriver method had a 'bool privileged' param.
If a false value was ever passed in, it would simply not
work, since non-root users don't have any privileges to create
new cgroups. Just delete this broken code entirely and make
the QEMU driver skip cgroup setup in non-privileged mode

A resource partition is an absolute cgroup path, ignoring the
current process placement. Expose a virCgroupNewPartition API
for constructing such cgroups

Currently the virCgroupPtr struct contains 3 pieces of
information
- path - path of the cgroup, relative to current process'
cgroup placement
- placement - current process' placement in each controller
- mounts - mount point of each controller
When reading/writing cgroup settings, the path & placement
strings are combined to form the file path. This approach
only works if we assume all cgroups will be relative to
the current process' cgroup placement.
To allow support for managing cgroups at any place in the
heirarchy a change is needed. The 'placement' data should
reflect the absolute path to the cgroup, and the 'path'
value should no longer be used to form the paths to the
cgroup attribute files.

Some aspects of the cgroups setup / detection code are quite subtle
and easy to break. It would greatly benefit from unit testing, but
this is difficult because the test suite won't have privileges to
play around with cgroups. The solution is to use monkey patching
via LD_PRELOAD to override the fopen, open, mkdir, access functions
to redirect access of cgroups files to some magic stubs in the
test suite.
Using this we provide custom content for the /proc/cgroup and
/proc/self/mounts files which report a fixed cgroup setup. We
then override open/mkdir/access so that access to the cgroups
filesystem gets redirected into files in a temporary directory
tree in the test suite build dir.
