Without this patch, at least tests/daemon-conf (which sticks
$builddir/src in the PATH) tries to execute the directory
$builddir/src/qemu rather than the real /usr/bin/qemu binary.
That was fine when qemu_capabilities silently ignored execution
failure, but not so good once it is converted to use virCommand.
* src/util/util.h (virFileExists): Adjust prototype.
(virFileIsExecutable): New prototype.
* src/util/util.c (virFindFileInPath): Reject non-executables and
directories. Avoid huge stack allocation.
(virFileExists): Use lighter-weight syscall.
(virFileIsExecutable): New function.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (util.h): Export new function.

Questions:
Should I be requiring S_ISREG, rather than !S_ISDIR (that is,
should we be rejecting devices and sockets as non-exectuable)?
Should I import the gnulib module euidaccess (and/or faccessat)
for the access check? Using access(F_OK) is okay regardless of
uid/gid, but access(X_OK) may have different answers than
euidaccess(X_OK) when the effective uid/gid do not match the
current uid/gid. However, dragging in the gnulib module will
require adding an extra link library for some platforms (for
example, Solaris needs -lgen), which means the change is more
invasive as it will also affect Makefiles.
