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)

also propagate the pool information to be able to detect NETFS ones.
