In some cases the caller of virPidFileRead might like extra checks
to determine whether the pid just read is really the one they are
expecting. This adds virPidFileReadIfAlive which will check whether
the pid is still alive with kill(0, -1), and (on linux only) will
look at /proc/$PID/path

This fails to compile on mingw, which lacks kill(). What's the best approach to fixing this, always fail with -ENOSYS, since right now we aren't making any use of pid files on mingw builds anyway?
