[libvirt] [PATCH] virDirRead: Fix d_type if needed

Some of our code iterates over a directory and does some
decisions based on entry type (e.g. if it's not a regular file
continue with next iteration). This is done by looking at
ent->d_type struct member. However, in some cases (e.g. for some
filesystems) the d_type can be set to DT_UNKNOWN which
effectively defeats the aforementioned checks. For instance, some
XFS' (depending on how they were created) might not bother
filling the member.

Fix this by running stat() and filling in the member ourselves.
If needed.

With Dan's patch that fixes stat() mocking, I'm passing tests
successfully everywhere I tried (32bit fedora and gentoo on RPi, RHEL-7,
amd64 gentoo, fedora rawhide on x86_64)
