virfile: Replace virFileMakePathHelper() with g_mkdir_with_parents()
This patch would make sense separately if the conversion had to be
spread out over months, like we did with VIR_ALLOC. But since you delete
the functions anyway in 4/4, consider squashing 1/4 and 4/4 together.
Frankly, sometimes I can't tell anymore what change is small enough to
be contained in one patch (even though it may accommodate two semantic
changes), and when it is big enough that it should be split into two
patches. Especially if one patched makes no sense without the other.
I've done some backports onto v4.5.0 and for instance even though we
tried to break glib rewrite into as small semantic changes as possible:
a) there were still a lot of conflicts,
b) I've ended up rewriting half of the code by hand anyway.
If easy backports are the goal we try to make changes as small as
possible, maybe it's time we re-evaluate that. I say we rip off the band
aid and move on.
