  Hum, the main problem I see there is that we may fail startup there
and go to cleanup. In that case the domain is not started but no hook is
called to reverse the operation. I wonder if VIR_HOOK_QEMU_OP_RELEASE
shouldn't be called in the cleanup ... if present, to avoid resource
leak when startup fails.

  That's okay, but possibly not sufficient.

  prepare should be added after stopped to avoid changing the order.

  same thing, only add at the end.

  Fixing the 2 last problems is trivial and I did it in my tree, but I
don't feel like commiting this without handling the failure to start
the domain (running VIR_HOOK_QEMU_OP_RELEASE with a new virHookSubopType
VIR_HOOK_SUBOP_FAILED for example).
