Eric Blake c061ff5e4a security_dac: compute supplemental groups before fork 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=964358

Commit 75c1256 states that virGetGroupList must not be called
between fork and exec, then commit ee777e99 promptly violated
that for lxc's use of virSecurityManagerSetProcessLabel.  Hoist
the supplemental group detection to the time that the security
manager needs to fork.  Qemu is safe, as it uses
virSecurityManagerSetChildProcessLabel which in turn uses
virCommand to determine supplemental groups.

This does not fix the fact that virSecurityManagerSetProcessLabel
calls virSecurityDACParseIds calls parseIds which eventually
calls getpwnam_r, which also violates fork/exec async-signal-safe
safety rules, but so far no one has complained of hitting
deadlock in that case.

* src/security/security_dac.c (_virSecurityDACData): Track groups
in private data.
(virSecurityDACPreFork): New function, to set them.
(virSecurityDACClose): Clean up new fields.
(virSecurityDACGetIds): Alter signature.
(virSecurityDACSetSecurityHostdevLabelHelper)
(virSecurityDACSetChardevLabel, virSecurityDACSetProcessLabel)
(virSecurityDACSetChildProcessLabel): Update callers.

         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.
