[libvirt] [PATCH 06/17] util: get rid of virIsSUID method

[Daniel P. Berrangé]

Now that none of the libvirt.so code will ever run in a setuid
context, we can remove the virIsSUID() method. The global
initializer function can just inline the check itself. The new
inlined check is slightly stronger as it also looks for a
setgid situation.
