If no uri is passed to one of the virConnectOpen-ish calls, libvirt
attempts to autoprobe a sensible URI. Part of the current logic checks
for getuid() > 0, and if that check is succesful, a libvirtd daemon is
spawned. This patch replaces this check with a call to
access(LIBVIRTD_PRIV_UNIX_SOCKET, W_OK) so that users with access to the
qemu:///system UNIX socket connect to that one by default instead of
spawning a new libvirtd daemon.
