[Libvir] [PATCH] Add qemudEscapeShellArg for passing commandlines to qemu.

Use this to escape a shell argument in a commandline passed to qemu. First we need to escape certain characters to get them through the qemu monitor interface. On the shell side, the argument will be enclosed in single quotes, so the only character that needs special treatment is the single quote itself.
