Adding libvirt list.

This would still fail with older QEMUs, so the question is if we should also OR 
instead
change something in libvirt.

Perhaps I'm missing something here, but libvirt can differentiate between
different versions of QEMU, therefore not calling it with wrong or outdated
arguments.


The code introduced in libvirt commit 31ca6a5 specifically looks for
'elevateprivileges' in 'parameters' of the 'sandbox' option through
query-command-line-options.

Outdated QEMUs should not have this option there.

However, libvirtd does add the option by default not knowing whether it
can fail for other reasons, e.g. SECCOMP not being enabled in the
running kernel. I wonder if that is worth addressing.
