Ján Tomko d27b6e5f49 qemu: virtiofs: do not force UID 0
Remove the explicit setting of uid 0 when running virtiofsd.

It is not required for privileged mode, where virtiofsd will be run
as root anyway. And for unprivileged mode, virtiofsd no longer requires
to be run as root.

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.
