Laine Stump f985773d06 util: eliminate device object leaks related to virDomain*Remove*() 
There are several functions in domain_conf.c that remove a device
object from the domain's list of that object type, but don't free the
object or return it to the caller to free. In many cases this isn't a
problem because the caller already had a pointer to the object and
frees it afterward, but in several cases the removed object was just
left floating around with no references to it.

In particular, the function qemuDomainDetachDeviceConfig() calls
functions to locate and remove net (virDomainNetRemoveByMac), disk
(virDomainDiskRemoveByName()), and lease (virDomainLeaseRemove())
devices, but neither it nor its caller qemuDomainModifyDeviceConfig()
ever obtain a pointer to the device being removed, much less free it.

This patch modifies the following "remove" functions to return a
pointer to the device object being removed from the domain device
arrays, to give the caller the option of freeing the device object
using that pointer if needed. In places where the object was
previously leaked, it is now freed:

  virDomainDiskRemove
  virDomainDiskRemoveByName
  virDomainNetRemove
  virDomainNetRemoveByMac
  virDomainHostdevRemove
  virDomainLeaseRemove
  virDomainLeaseRemoveAt

The functions that had been leaking:

  libxlDomainDetachConfig - leaked a virDomainDiskDef
  qemuDomainDetachDeviceConfig - could leak a virDomainDiskDef,
                            a virDomainNetDef, or a
                            virDomainLeaseDef
  qemuDomainDetachLease   - leaked a virDomainLeaseDef

         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.
