This helps when starting domains with long names which could possibly end up creating too long of a name for the filesystem. The path is not being saved in the domain config, so there is no need for backwards compatibility. User aliases will always start with "ua-" and the only way paths could collide is to: 1) create a domain named e.g. "asdf-ua" 2) start the domain with virtiofsd debug logs 3) destroy the domain 4) restart libvirt daemon for domain IDs to start from 1 again 5) create a domain named "asdf" 6) add user alias for the virtiofs that is the same as was generated for the first domain, with the required "ua-" prefix 7) start the "asdf" domain at which point the logs for the two domains would end up in the same logfile. Since this is still better than what we had before I think it is not worth fixing this peculiar scenario in this patch.
