The remote_internal.c code is basically a no-op in its remoteNetworkOpen
method. This means the remote driver will only handle the networking
APIs, if it is also handling the main domain APIs. This works fine if
connecting to a remote URI, or if using QEMU URIs, but it does not work
if using the test or Xen drivers.

To make this work the remoteNetworkOpen method needs to open a connection
to the remote daemon IIF the remoteOpen method did not already open one.

So the attached patch adds the neccessary logic in remoteNetworkOpen. It
also adds code to remoteNetworkClose to make it shutdown& free the connection
IIF it was opened by the remoteNetworkOpen method. This is what the extra
'networkOnly' field in the 'struct private_data' is used to check.

Second, all of the implementations of virNetwork* APIs in the remote_internal.c
driver must use the  'struct private_data *' from networkPrivateData field
in virConnectPtr, not the 'privateData' field. This is because the 'privateData'
field is probably storing data related to the Xen or Test drivers.

Third, this also fixes the qemu_driver.c which incorrectly used the privateData field insteadof the networkPrivateData field for 2 of the
networking APIs, and finally makes sure the qemu_driver.c also acccepts
the use of qemu:///session APIs for root user.
A new version of the patch which has all of the above plus:

 * Fixed the getType function in the qemu driver to return 'QEMU' instead
   of 'qemu', since the former is what we used to provide.

 * Adds in auto-start of the libvirtd if using  qemu:///session of
   test://* (needed for networking) urls as non-root

small suggestion:
mabye the field name could be made more generic and would be reusable
for more flags.

  Hum .... asserts .... Can't we make a normal test/error/exit handling
so that errors there can be chanelled the same way as any other ?

These errors indicate memory corruption - in other words, game over - the process must stop.
