Daniel P. Berrange 25ebb2f8bb Add helpers for getting env vars in a setuid environment 
Care must be taken accessing env variables when running
setuid. Introduce a virGetEnvAllowSUID for env vars which
are safe to use in a setuid environment, and another
virGetEnvBlockSUID for vars which are not safe. Also add
a virIsSUID helper method for any other non-env var code
to use.

         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.
