[libvirt] [PATCH v3 3/5] osdep: Enable qemu_open to dup pre-opened fd
This patch adds support to qemu_open to dup(fd) a pre-opened file
descriptor if the filename is of the format /dev/fd/X.
This can be used when QEMU is restricted from opening files, and
the management application opens files on QEMU's behalf.
If the fd was passed to the monitor with the pass-fd command, it
must be explicitly closed with the 'closefd' command when it is
no longer required, in order to prevent fd leaks.

v2:
-Get rid of file_open and move dup code to qemu_open
(kwolf(a)redhat.com)
-Use strtol wrapper instead of atoi (kwolf(a)redhat.com)
v3:
-Add note about fd leakage (eblake(a)redhat.com)
