[PATCH 1/2] qemu_shim: Allow other users to enter the root dir

When virt-qemu-run is ran without any root directory specified on the command line, a temporary directory is made and used instead. But since we are using g_dir_make_tmp() to create the directory it is going to have 0700 mode. So even though we create the whole directory structure under it and label everything, QEMU is very likely to not have the access. This is because in this case there is no qemu.conf and thus distro default UID:GID is used to run QEMU (e.g. qemu:kvm on Fedora). Change the mode of the temporary directory so that everybody has eXecute permission.
