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.
