[libvirt] [PATCH] absolutePathFromBaseFile: don't leak when first arg contains no "/"

Not only did this function leak(p), but it would also over-allocate
(by the length of basename(base_file)), and then later, re-alloc
to compensate, so I rewrote it:

Subject: [PATCH] absolutePathFromBaseFile: don't leak when first arg contains no "/"

* src/util/storage_file.c: Include "dirname.h".
(absolutePathFromBaseFile): Rewrite not to leak, and to require
fewer allocations.
* bootstrap (modules): Add dirname-lgpl and stpncpy.
* .gnulib: Update submodule to the latest.
