Can you also add a test case to src/virstringtest.c for this one
too. In particular test what happens when matches are exactly at
the start and end of the string  so we validate proper boundary
handling.

Can we call this  virStringReplace instead.

This looks like a out of bounds read. eg consider

   haystack = "foo"
   oldneedle = "baaaaaar"

You're going to be making memcmp read beyond the end of the haystack
array I believe.

Rather than trying to pre-caculate buffer lengths, I thin it would
probably be simpler if you just used the virBuffer APIs to construct
the new string, since that does grow-on-demand.
