Introduce virQEMUDriverConfigSetCertDir which will handle reading the
qemu.conf config file specific setting for default, vnc, spice, chardev,
and migrate. If a setting is provided, then validate the existence of the
directory and overwrite the default set by virQEMUDriverConfigNew.

Update the qemu.conf description for default to describe the consequences
if the default directory path does not exist and as well as the descriptions
for each of the *_tls_x509_cert_dir entries.

v1: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-June/msg01278.html

- Dropped the former 1/2 patch

- Alter the logic of virQEMUDriverConfigSetCertDir to fail instead of
 VIR_INFO if an uncommented entry for one of the *_tls_x509_cert_dir
 has a path that does not exist. This will cause a libvirtd startup
 failure as opposed to the previous logic which would have failed only
 when a domain using TLS was started.

- Alter the description for each of the values to more accurately describe
 what happens.

To apply the configuration, you need to restart the daemon. And since
daemon startup will fail, I think the user will be able to notice it.
We should error out on incorrect paths as soon as we can, without
mentioning it in the documentation.

If I override default_tls_x509_cert_dir, without overriding all the
specific *_tls_x509_cert_dir values, I expect they will all use my
value, not the hardcoded default of /etc/pki/qemu.

This is not a syntax error.
Validating these settings does not belong in virQEMUDriverConfigLoadFile;
qemuStateInitialize or a function called from it would be a better
place.
