[PATCH 01/12] util: Introduce virHostGetDRMRenderNode helper

[Erik Skultety <eskultet@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is the first step towards libvirt picking the first available
render node instead of QEMU. It also makes sense for us to be able to do
that, since we allow specifying the node directly for SPICE, so if
there's no render node specified by the user, we should pick the first
available one. The algorithm used for that is essentially the same as
the one QEMU uses.
