Daniel P. Berrangé f17b9c57c5 run: detect daemons when run via wrapper commands
The run script tries to detect when a daemon is being run in order to
shutdown other systemd unit files that clash. As implemented this
only works if the daemon name is the first argument. This won't be the
case if running via GDB or strace eg

  ./run strace -e trace=openat ./build/src/virtqemud

We need to check all argv to find which might be a daemon path/name.

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.
