Eric Blake d1333dd0fb storage: don't follow backing chain symlinks too eagerly
If you have a qcow2 file /path1/to/file pointed to by symlink
/path2/symlink, and pass qemu /path2/symlink, then qemu treats
a relative backing file in the qcow2 metadata as being relative
to /path2, not /path1/to.  Yes, this means that it is possible
to create a qcow2 file where the choice of WHICH directory and
symlink you access its contents from will then determine WHICH
backing file (if any) you actually find; the results can be
rather screwy, but we have to match what qemu does.

Libvirt and qemu default to creating absolute backing file
names, so most users don't hit this.  But at least VDSM uses
symlinks and relative backing names alongside the
--reuse-external flags to libvirt snapshot operations, with the
result that libvirt was failing to follow the intended chain of
backing files, and then backing files were not granted the
necessary sVirt permissions to be opened by qemu.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903248 for
more gory details.  This fixes a regression introduced in
commit 8250783.

I tested this patch by creating the following chain:

ls /home/eblake/Downloads/Fedora.iso # raw file for base
cd /var/lib/libvirt/images
qemu-img create -f qcow2 \
  -obacking_file=/home/eblake/Downloads/Fedora.iso,backing_fmt=raw one
mkdir sub
cd sub
ln -s ../one onelink
qemu-img create -f qcow2 \
  -obacking_file=../sub/onelink,backing_fmt=qcow2 two
mv two ..
ln -s ../two twolink
qemu-img create -f qcow2 \
  -obacking_file=../sub/twolink,backing_fmt=qcow2 three
mv three ..
ln -s ../three threelink

then pointing my domain at /var/lib/libvirt/images/sub/threelink.
Prior to this patch, I got complaints about missing backing
files; afterwards, I was able to verify that the backing chain
(and hence DAC and SELinux relabels) of the entire chain worked.

* src/util/virstoragefile.h (_virStorageFileMetadata): Add
directory member.
* src/util/virstoragefile.c (absolutePathFromBaseFile): Drop,
replaced by...
(virFindBackingFile): ...better function.
(virStorageFileGetMetadataInternal): Add an argument.
(virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFD, virStorageFileChainLookup)
(virStorageFileGetMetadata): Update callers.
