This patch update the libvirt library to version 3.1.0
We can not update to the latest version in the moment because version
3.2.0 has a annoying bug.

The virtlogd could only be restarted when the daemons run. The update.sh
script tried to restart the daemon no matter if the daemons run or not.
This behaviour produce problems.
An If statement now checks if the daemon runs or not and execute the
command that is suitable for the situation.
Fixes: #11172

This is the update of libvirt to the latest version 2.1.
The most important change from a packager view is the new virtlogd
daemon.
This daemon handles the qemu output and wrote it to log files.
The require some changes:
- A new init script to start, stop restart the daemon called virtlogd.
The daemon is restart with SIGUSR1 (this is important because the daemon
keeps all pipelines etc. open).
This introduces a problem with the uninstall.sh install.sh script.
It is not possible to stop the daemon while virtual machines are
running, so the script update.sh execute from now not uninstall.sh and
install.sh instead it contains all steps from uninstall.sh install.sh
expect the start / stop routine for virtlogd. The daemon is just
restarted after the update, which makes sure that all changes take
effect.
- new symlinks in the uninstall.sh and install.sh script and some root
file changes because of the new virtlogd init script.
- the archive format changes from tar.gz to tar.xz

If the kernel module vhot_net is loaded, the performance of virtio
networking is better then without vhost_net.
So the module is loaded before libvirtd ist started to get the benefit
of vhost_net.

The directory /etc/libvirt is backed up on uninstallation and is
restored on installation.
Alle Files in /var are commented in the rootfile so they are not
removed on uninstallation.
Because of the fact that the directories are not shipped with the
package they were created at installation time.
The permissions of 3 directories are changed because the qemu user is
nobody and the qemu group is kvm, so the permissions must be nobody:kvm

The libvirt daemon was not started after installation because the
initscritp is named 'libvirtd' not like the package 'libvirt'.
The same problem appear in the uninstall.sh. The service was not
stopped.

Changes the libvirt user to nobody and the group to kvm this is a bit
safer as to use root for both.

It is possible to communicate per ssh via a socket with libvirt. It is
not a good idea to do this as root, so the remote user is now
libvirt-remote. Only this user or users in the group libvirt-remote can
communicate with the socket.
The user libvirt-remote is created without a password. The users have to
set a password for this user after installation.
