[libvirt] [PATCH 3/4] Add a simple macro to check in which library dlopen() is, and use it.

[Diego Elio Pettenò <flameeyes@xxxxxxxxx>]

Since on not all systems dlopen() is in libdl, add a very simple macro that
allows to search for it and sets a DLOPEN_LIBS variable with its value to
be used.

Use the macro instead of hardcoding -ldl for the drivers-as-modules case.
