Currently priv->libDir only save monitor.sock and master-key.aes. All those 
file need clear at system reset.
So it make sense to change priv->libDir from /var/lib/libvirt/qemu to 
/var/run/libvirt/qemu


Ah, top-posting...  So OK, we can change this.  But if it is used only
for master.aes and monitor.sock, then there should not be that many
places to be changed.  It is also super-easy to find mistakes by just
building libvirt.

Still, the point about qemuSetPrivatePathsOld() stands, that must not
change due to back-compatibility.

Is that he only problem?  I know it sounds right to have that in a
runtime directory, but for me it would also make sense to have that in
a persistent directory.  Either this or any other file that suggests
we did not clean up a domain yet.  I'm not sure we are currently doing
it or that it's a reason for why libDir was chosen, but it might have been.

libDir is almost certainly just a historical accident. Conceptually runDir 
makes more sense since this requires no storage across reboots.

Daniel
