32a9aac2e0 Use XDG Base Directories instead of storing in home directory
As defined in:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

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

257cc1a1b3 docs: removed outdated reference to virt-mem
The virt-mem program is no longer shipped, but was still being
referenced at the bottom of the virsh and libvirtd man pages.

This patch removes it from those man pages, addressing
BZ# 639603:

de7d4c6ae7 man pages: update authors and copyright notice for libvirtd and virsh
This patch removes the individual author names from the libvirtd and virsh
man pages, instead referring to the main AUTHORS file distributed with
libvirt.  This approach is needed, as we can't guarantee unicode support
across all versions of pod2man used with libvirt.

Additionally, this patch includes the libvirtd man page in the spec file
used with "make rpm".  Without this patch "make rpm" is broken.
