We already guarantee that virtlogd.socket is enabled/disabled along with libvirtd.service, but if libvirtd.service has just been installed and is started before rebooting, then virtlogd.socket will not be running and guest startup will fail. Add Requires=virtlogd.socket to libvirtd.service to make sure virtlogd.socket is always started along with libvirtd.service, and add Before=libvirtd.service to both virtlogd.socket and virtlogd.service so that virtlogd never disappears before libvirtd has exited. Also add PartOf=libvirtd.service to both virtlogd.socket and virtlogd.service, so that virtlogd can be shut down when not needed.
