This patch series moves the logic for parsing users and groups in a
similar way to coreutils' chown from security_dac.c to util.c, as
suggested by Eric Blake.

This change has two majors side effects:

 1. Some error messages that were issued when security_dac.c tried to
    parse an ID as a name are no longer issued.
 2. The keys `user` and `group` in qemu.conf can now be defined in the
    same way that in DAC security labels.

Peter Krempa's fix for correctly handling errors returned by getpwnam_r and
getgrnam_r is squashed into this patch series.

Marcelo Cerri (2):
  util: extend virGetUserID and virGetGroupID to support names and IDs
  security: update user and group parsing in security_dac.c
