The existing QEMU and vbox URI path validation consider
that a privileged user can use both a "/system" and a
"/session" URI. This differs from all the other drivers
that forbids the root user to use "/session" URI.
Let's update virConnectValidateURIPath() to handle these
cases as exceptions, using the already existent 'entityName'
value to handle "QEMU" and "vbox" differently. This allows
us to use the validateURI function in these cases without
changing the existing behavior of other drivers.

The logic is incorrect here. Try connecting to qemu:///system after this
change, it will be rejected.
Also passing in the 'QEMU' instead of 'qemu string means we print the
wrong URI in the error. I think this needs a v4 :/

This formatting should be squashed into patch #1 IMO
Thanks,
