The 'fdgroup' will allow users to specify a passed FD (via the
'virDomainFDAssociate()' API) use instead of opening a path. This is
useful in cases when e.g. the file is not accessible from inside a
container.
Since this uses the same disk type as when we open files via names this
patch also introduces a hypervisor feature which the hypervisor asserts
that code paths are ready for this possibility.
