Commit 85c4bf8aa6 ("vl: Unlink absolute PID file path") introduced a
critical error when the PID file path cannot be resolved. Before this
commit, it was possible to invoke QEMU when the PID file was a file
created with mkstemp that was already unlinked at the time of the
invocation. There might be other similar scenarios.

It should not be a critical error when the PID file unlink notifier
can't be registered, because the path can't be resolved. If the file
is already gone from QEMU's perspective, silently ignore the error.
Otherwise, only print a warning.
