Pavel Hrdina 2298b42878 meson: src/util/virfile: rewrite virFileActivateDirOverrideForProg
With meson we no longer have .libs directory with the actual binary so
we have to take a different approach to detect if running from build
directory.

This is not as robust as for autotools because if you select --prefix
in the build directory it will incorrectly enable the override as well
but nobody should do that.

We have to modify some of the tests to not add current build path into
PATH variable and use the full path for virsh instead. Otherwise it
would be impossible to figure out that we are running virsh from build
directory.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:
