Can't we call VIR_FREE(args) in the forked process?  Or is this one of
those inconsequential leaks right before we exec in the child process?

I thought we had the ability to wire up destructors for thread local
storage, that gets called when the thread completes?

At any rate, since all of these suppressions are solely for test files,
we aren't masking leaks in libvirtd proper, so if it makes it easier to
spot the introduction of new leaks, I'm okay with this patch as-is.
