[libvirt] [PATCH] Eliminate large stack buffer in doTunnelSendAll

[Laine Stump <laine@xxxxxxxxx>]

doTunnelSendAll function (used by QEMU migration) uses a 64k buffer on
the stack, which could be problematic. This patch replaces that with a
buffer from the heap.

While in the neighborhood, this patch also improves error reporting in
the case that saferead fails - previously, virStreamAbort() was called
(resetting errno) before reporting the error. It's been changed to
report the error first.
