When libvirtd is run from a build directory without being installed, it
should not depend on files from a libvirt package installed in the
system. Currently, APIs defined in src/ don't know whether libvirtd
is being run from the build dir or the installed dir. The following
additions provide the functionality to do so:

   virSetUninstalledDir
   virGetUninstalledDir

Example usage (utility = lxc|iohelper):
   char *path_tmp = virGetUninstalledDir();
   if (path_tmp)
      /* do stuff with ("%s/../../src/libvirt_<utility>", path_tmp) */
   else
      /* do stuff with (LIBEXECDIR "/libvirt_<utility>") */
