I thought it could be useful to have the guestfs daemon running in

We probably don't actually need ssh, if we just execute commands in
libguestfs for bits where we currently use ssh.
This works too.
Use the guestfs_set_attach_method call to connect to the daemon once
libvirt has booted the appliance (how you boot the appliance via
libvirt is of course up to you):
