[PATCH] qemu: don't reject virtiofs for qemu:///session

[Cole Robinson <crobinso@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Currently libvirt rejects attempts to use virtiofs with
qemu:///session. Indeed virtiofs does not have a chance of working
with typical session usage, because virtiofsd needs multiple linux
capabilities to perform its job. The only way to do this with out
of the box qemu packaging is to run virtiofsd as root, so libvirtd
must run as root, so qemu:///system is required.

But it's possible that a custom environment could setuid or set
file capabilities on the virtiofsd binary. In this case qemu:///session
would work fine. This may be an option for kubevirt to help them
transition to using qemu:///session everywhere

Drop the two pieces that block virtiofs for qemu:///session. Attempts
to use virtiofs for stock qemu:///session will fail at qemu startup,
though it's a bit opaque:

error: Failed to start domain 'f32'
error: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2021-03-26T16:26:12.459293Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vhost-user-fs-pci,chardev=chr-vu-fs0,tag=/foovirtiofs,bus=pci.10,addr=0x0: Failed to write msg. Wrote -1 instead of 12.

The SetUID/SetGID bits don't seem to be necessary for qemu:///system
usage AFAICT, but it's a bit tough to decode virSetUIDGIDWithCaps.
virtiofsd is meticulous about managing its capability set though
