Allow relative path for qemu backing file
This patch enables the relative backing file path support provided by qemu-img create. If a relative path is specified for the backing file, it is converted to an absolute path using the storage pool path. The absolute path is used to verify that the backing file exists. If the backing file exists, the relative path is allowed and will be provided to qemu-img create.
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.
