The most important part is LIBVIRTD_PATH env var fix. It is used
in virFileFindResourceFull() from tests. The libvirtd no longer
lives under daemon/.
Then, libvirtd-fail test was still failing (as expected) but not
because of missing config file but because it was trying to
execute (nonexistent) top_builddir/daemon/libvirtd which
fulfilled expected outcome and thus test did not fail.
Thirdly, lcov was told to generate coverage for daemon/ dir too.
Fourthly, our compiling documentation was still suggesting to run
daemonn/libvirtd.
And finally, some comments in a systemtap file and a probes file
were still referring to daemon/libvirtd.

Currently, the functions return a pointer to the
destination buffer on success or NULL on failure.
Not only does this kind of error handling look quite
alien in the context of libvirt, where most functions
return zero on success and a negative int on failure,
but it's also somewhat pointless because unless there's
been a failure the returned pointer will be the same
one passed in by the user, thus offering no additional
value.
Change the functions so that they return an int
instead.

Historically, we've always enabled an emulated video device every time we
see that graphics should be supported with a guest. With the appearance
of mediated devices which can support QEMU's vfio-display capability,
users might want to use such a device as the only video device.
Therefore introduce a new, effectively a 'disable', type for video
device.

QEMU 2.12 introduced a new type of display for mediated devices using
vfio-pci backend which allows a mediated device to be used as a VGA
compatible device as an alternative to an emulated video device. QEMU
exposes this feature via a vfio device property 'display' with supported
values 'on/off/auto' (libvirt will default to 'off').
This patch adds the necessary bits to domain config handling in order to
expose this feature. Since there's no convenient way for libvirt to come
up with usable defaults for the display setting, simply because libvirt
is not able to figure out which of the display implementations - dma-buf
which requires OpenGL support vs vfio regions which doesn't need OpenGL
(works with OpenGL enabled too) - the underlying mdev uses.

Since 2.10 QEMU supports a new display type egl-headless which uses the
drm nodes for OpenGL rendering copying back the rendered bits back to
QEMU into a dma-buf which can be accessed by standard "display" apps
like VNC or SPICE. Although this display type can be used on its own,
for any practical use case it makes sense to pair it with either VNC or
SPICE display. The clear benefit of this display is that VNC gains
OpenGL support, which it natively doesn't have, and SPICE gains remote
OpenGL support (native OpenGL support only works locally through a UNIX
socket, i.e. listen type=socket/none).
