[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] Remove open coding virProcessWait for root-squash

A followup of sorts to recently pushed patches regarding NFS root-squash. During libvirt-security list review it was pointed out that the new code was essentially open coding what virProcessWait does. However, since the model being used also was open coded and there was a time element, the change was allowed as is with the expectation that a cleanup patch would follow. Which is what leads into this series.... The series started out purely as removing the open code and replacing with the call to virProcessWait, but during that exercise I also realized that it was possible to create a 'netdir' in a NFS root-squash environment (eg, virDirCreate); however, the corrollary to remove the directory using a fork/exec didn't exist - in fact all that was called was rmdir, which failed to delete in the NFS root-squash environment. Rather than having a whole new interface, the first patch reworks virFileUnlink to check whether the target is a directory or a file and either call rmdir or unlink appropriately. The one common thread amongst the 3 API's changed here is they each looked to return an errno value, while typically virProcessWait consumers only return -1 and errno. Determining which failure in virProcessWait returns -1 is possible because one exit path uses virReportSystemError to report the error that caused the waitpid() to fail, while the other error path either receives the errno from the child process or if not present had already "assumed" EACCES, so these changes follow that model, except that if it's determined the waitpid failed, EINTR is returned similar to how virFileAccessibleAs sets errno and returns -1.
