[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: eliminate "Ignoring open failure" message when using root-squash NFS

This eliminates the warning message reported in:

 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=624447

It was caused by a failure to open an image file that is not
accessible by root (the uid libvirtd is running as) because it's on a
root-squash NFS share, owned by a different user, with permissions of
660 (or maybe 600).

The solution is to re-try the open using virFileOpenAs() when
appropriate. The codepath that generates the error is during
qemuSetupDiskCGroup(), but the actual open() is in a lower-level
generic function called from many places (virDomainDiskDefForeachPath),
so some other pieces of the code were touched just to add dummy (or
possibly useful) uid and gid arguments.

Eliminating this warning message has the nice side effect that the
requested opearation may even succeed (which in this case isn't
necessary, but shouldn't hurt anything either).
