Daniel P. Berrange 182a80b922 Move QEMU monitor socket in /var/lib/libvirt/qemu 
Separate the guest created QEMU monitor socket location
from the libvirtd create XML / PID data files, to improve
security separation when running QEMU non-root

* libvirt.spec.in: Leave /var/run/libvirt/qemu as root:root
* src/qemu_conf.h: Add libDir and cacheDir directory paths
* src/qemu_driver.c: Move QEMU monitor socket from
  stateDir to libDir to avoid making security critical directory
  accessible to QEMU guests.
* src/util.c: Delay running hook till after damonizing to
  ensure pidfile is still written before changing UID/GID

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
