In order to avoid problems trying to chown files that were created by
root on a root-squashing nfs server, fork a new process that setuid's
to the desired uid before creating the file. (It's only done this way
if the pool containing the new volume is of type 'netfs', otherwise
the old method of creating the file followed by chown() is used.)
This changes the semantics of the "create_func" slightly - previously
it was assumed that this function just created the file, then the
caller would chown it to the desired uid. Now, create_func does both
operations.
There are multiple functions that can take on the role of create_func:
createFileDir - previously called mkdir(), now calls virDirCreate().
virStorageBackendCreateRaw - previously called open(),
now calls virFileCreate().
virStorageBackendCreateQemuImg - use virRunWithHook() to setuid/gid.
virStorageBackendCreateQcowCreate - same.
virStorageBackendCreateBlockFrom - preserve old behavior (but attempt
chown when necessary even if not root)

src/storage/storage_driver.c: change the create_func implementations,
also propagate the pool information to be able to detect NETFS ones.
* src/storage/storage_driver.c: Fix IsPersistent() and IsActivE()
methods on storage pools to use 'storagePrivateData' instead
of 'privateData'. Also fix naming convention of objects
Replace free(virBufferContentAndReset()) with virBufferFreeAndReset().
Update documentation and replace all remaining calls to free() with
calls to VIR_FREE(). Also add missing calls to virBufferFreeAndReset()
and virReportOOMError() in OOM error cases.

src/xen/xm_internal.c: Steve Grubb <sgrubb@redhat.com> sent a code
review and those are the fixes correcting the problems
The LXC driver was mistakenly returning -1 for lxcStartup()
in scenarios that are not an error. This caused the libvirtd
to quit for unprivileged users. This fixes the return code
of LXC driver, and also adds a "name" field to the virStateDriver
struct and logging to make it easier to find these problems
in the future
* src/driver.h: Add a 'name' field to state driver to allow
easy identification during failures
* src/libvirt.c: Log name of failed driver for virStateInit
failures
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c: Don't return a failure code for
lxcStartup() if LXC is not available on this host, simply
disable the driver.
