In testing the "vol-download" command in virsh, downloading a
1G file takes a ridiculous amount of time (minutes) with the
new SSH helper.
After the first patch is applied the time gets down to a much
more reasonable 5.5 seconds on my test machine.
By comparison netcat achieved 4 seconds.
After applying the second patch, the time is reduced to 3.5
seconds, so we actually end up beating netcat, as long as
we have glib >= 2.64.0 available.

remote: make ssh-helper massively faster
util: avoid glib event loop workaround where possible
