Eric Blake 391c397e48 maint: prohibit access(,X_OK)
This simplifies several callers that were repeating checks already
guaranteed by util.c, and makes other callers more robust to now
reject directories.  remote_driver.c was over-strict - access(,R_OK)
is only needed to execute a script file; a binary only needs
access(,X_OK) (besides, it's unusual to see a file with x but not
r permissions, whether script or binary).

* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_access_xok): New syntax-check rule.
(exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_prohibit_access_xok): Exempt one use.
* src/network/bridge_driver.c (networkStartRadvd): Fix offenders.
* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (qemuCapsProbeMachineTypes)
(qemuCapsInitGuest, qemuCapsInit, qemuCapsExtractVersionInfo):
Likewise.
* src/remote/remote_driver.c (remoteFindDaemonPath): Likewise.
* src/uml/uml_driver.c (umlStartVMDaemon): Likewise.
* src/util/hooks.c (virHookCheck): Likewise.

         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.

Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
Description
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.
