[libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] qemu: Change the default unix monitor timeout

There is a number of reported issues when we fail starting a domain.
Turns out that, in some scenarios like high load, 3 second timeout is
not enough for qemu to start up to the phase where the socket is
created.  Since the timeout is configurable and there is no downside
of waiting longer, raise the timeout right to 30 seconds.
