note that the '-Dsystem=true' argument is supposed to be used with
'meson' as it sets up configure time options. This way it probably did
nothing.

So the directory really looks like libvirtd/virtqemud or any other of
the libvirt daemons never ran.

avoid issues such as possibly having two libvirtd instances running and
such.
