Eric Blake 631923e7f2 virFork: give specific status on failure prior to exec
When a child fails without exec'ing, we want a well-known status;
best is to match what env(1), nice(1), su(1), and other wrapper
programs do.  This patch adds enum values that later patches will
use, and sets up virFork as the first client of EXIT_CANCELED
for errors detected prior to even attempting exec, as well as
virExec to distinguish between a missing executable vs. a binary
that cannot be executed.

This is a slight semantic change in the unlikely case of a child
process failing to restore its signal mask - we now kill the
child with a known status instead of relying on the caller to
notice and do an appropriate _exit().  A subsequent patch will
make further cleanups based on an audit of all callers.

* src/internal.h (EXIT_CANCELED, EXIT_CANNOT_INVOKE)
(EXIT_ENOENT): New enum.
* src/util/vircommand.c (virFork): Document specific exit value if
child aborts early.
(virExec): Distinguish between various exec failures.
* tests/commandtest.c (test1): Enhance test.
(test22): New test.

         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.

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.
