This resolves:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=851411
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=955500
The first problem was that virFileOpenAs was returning fd (-1) in one
of the error cases rather than ret (-errno), so the caller thought
that the error was EPERM rather than ENOENT.
The second problem was that some log messages in the general purpose
qemuOpenFile() function would always say "Failed to create" even if
the caller hadn't included O_CREAT (i.e. they were trying to open an
existing file).
This fixes virFileOpenAs to jump down to the error return (which
returns ret instead of fd) in the previously mentioned incorrect
failure case of virFileOpenAs(), removes all error logging from
virFileOpenAs() (since the callers report it), and modifies
qemuOpenFile to appropriately use "open" or "create" in its log
messages.
NB: I seriously considered removing logging from all callers of
virFileOpenAs(), but there is at least one case where the caller
doesn't want virFileOpenAs() to log any errors, because it's just
going to try again (qemuOpenFile()). We can't simply make a silent
variation of virFileOpenAs() though, because qemuOpenFile() can't make
the decision about whether or not it wants to retry until after
virFileOpenAs() has already returned an error code.
Likewise, I also considered changing virFileOpenAs() to return -1 with
errno set on return, and may still do that, but only as a separate
patch, as it obscures the intent of this patch too much.

libvirt library code README
===========================
The directory provides the bulk of the libvirt codebase. Everything
except for the libvirtd daemon and client tools. The build uses a
large number of libtool convenience libraries - one for each child
directory, and then links them together for the final libvirt.so,
although some bits get linked directly to libvirtd daemon instead.
The files directly in this directory are supporting the public API
entry points & data structures.
There are two core shared modules to be aware of:
* util/ - a collection of shared APIs that can be used by any
code. This directory is always in the include path
for all things built
* conf/ - APIs for parsing / manipulating all the official XML
files used by the public API. This directory is only
in the include path for driver implementation modules
* vmx/ - VMware VMX config handling (used by esx/ and vmware/)
Then there are the hypervisor implementations:
* esx/ - VMware ESX and GSX support using vSphere API over SOAP
* hyperv/ - Microsoft Hyper-V support using WinRM
* lxc/ - Linux Native Containers
* openvz/ - OpenVZ containers using cli tools
* phyp/ - IBM Power Hypervisor using CLI tools over SSH
* qemu/ - QEMU / KVM using qemu CLI/monitor
* remote/ - Generic libvirt native RPC client
* test/ - A "mock" driver for testing
* uml/ - User Mode Linux
* vbox/ - Virtual Box using native API
* vmware/ - VMware Workstation and Player using the vmrun tool
* xen/ - Xen using hypercalls, XenD SEXPR & XenStore
* xenapi/ - Xen using libxenserver
Finally some secondary drivers that are shared for several HVs.
Currently these are used by LXC, OpenVZ, QEMU, UML and Xen drivers.
The ESX, Hyper-V, Power Hypervisor, Remote, Test & VirtualBox drivers all
implement the secondary drivers directly
* cpu/ - CPU feature management
* interface/ - Host network interface management
* network/ - Virtual NAT networking
* nwfilter/ - Network traffic filtering rules
* node_device/ - Host device enumeration
* secret/ - Secret management
* security/ - Mandatory access control drivers
* storage/ - Storage management drivers
Since both the hypervisor and secondary drivers can be built as
dlopen()able modules, it is *FORBIDDEN* to have build dependencies
between these directories. Drivers are only allowed to depend on
the public API, and the internal APIs in the util/ and conf/
directories
