[libvirt] [PATCH v2 8/8] qemu: support use of virtlogd with file based chardevs

Currently the file based character devices let QEMU write directly to a file on disk. This allows a malicious QEMU to inflict a denial of service by consuming all free space. Switch QEMU to use a pipe to virtlogd, which will enforce file rollover. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
