[libvirt] [dbus PATCH] tests: Explicitly spawn a session libvirt-dbus instance

Tests are performed using the session D-Bus instance, so we should launch libvirt-dbus in session mode as well. This was working fine when running the tests as a regular user, because in that case libvirt-dbus would default to session mode, but fail when running them as root because libvirt-dbus would run in system mode and consequently not show up on the session bus. Of course building and runnning the test suite as root is a pretty bad idea in general, but a lot of distributions run at least part of their package build steps with pretend root privileges (eg. fakeroot), so we have to make sure it works in that scenario too.
