NB, libvirt only ever uses --daemonize when probing capabilities, never
when launching QEMU for a real VM. In the latter case, we now use FD
passing, so libvirt opens the UNIX domain socket listener, and passes
this into QEMU. So libvirt knows it can connect to the listener
immediately and will only ever get a failure if QEMU has exited.

We can't use FD passing for the capabilities probing because of the
chicken & egg problem - we need to probe capabilities to find out
if FD passing it available or not. Fortunately with capabilities
probing, we don't care about using --preconfig, as were not running
a real VM

Daniel
