[PATCH v2 1/2] conf: Rework virDomainObjListFindByUUID to allow more concurrent APIs

[Martin Kletzander <mkletzan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Currently, when there is an API that's blocking with locked domain and
second API that's waiting in virDomainObjListFindByUUID() for the domain
lock (with the domain list locked) no other API can be executed on any
domain on the whole hypervisor because all would wait for the domain
list to be locked.  This patch adds new optional approach to this in
which the domain is only ref'd (reference counter is incremented)
instead of being locked and is locked *after* the list itself is
unlocked.  We might consider only ref'ing the domain in the future and
leaving locking on particular APIs, but that's no tonight's fairy tale.
