[Libvir] [PATCH] Rewrite openvzSetUUID.

There were several unchecked syscalls in this function, along with the
at-least-theoretical risk of a file descriptor leak, so I rewrote this
function to avoid all that, using a stream rather than a bare file
descriptor.

	Subject: [PATCH] Rewrite openvzSetUUID.
	* src/openvz_conf.c (openvzSetUUID): Rewrite to avoid unchecked
	lseek, write, and close as well as a potential file descriptor leak.

Regarding style, the if (expr1 + expr2 + expr3) below might look
odd, but it's better than "if (expr1 || expr2 || expr3)", which
loses if expr1 or expr2 is true, since it short-circuits and
skips expr3, which is the required fclose call.

I could have used "|", but that seemed worse,
and I didn't like the duplication in
  if (expr1)
    ret = -1;
  if (expr2)
    ret = -1;
  if (expr3)
    ret = -1;

In an early iteration, I even wrote this (which still
has too much duplication but isn't that bad):

  ret = 0;
  ret |= e1;
  ret |= e2;
  ret |= e3;

Anyway, just trying to avoid a drawn-out discussion on style....
