Laine Stump 8fb0b08762 hostdevmgr: remove unneeded oldStateDir 
Back in commit 2c71d3826, which appeared in libvirt-1.2.3 in April
2014, the location used to store saved MAC addresses and vlan tags of
SRIOV VFs was changed from /var/run/libvirt/qemu to
/var/run/libvirt/hostdevmgr. For backward compatibility the code was
made to continue looking in the old location for the files when it
didn't find them in the new location.

It's now been 6 years, and even if there was somebody still running
libvirt-1.2.3 on their system, that system would now be out of support
for libvirt, so there would be no way for them to upgrade to a new
libvirt that no longer looks in  "oldStateDir" for the files. So
let's no longer look in "oldStateDir" for the files!

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.
