After we've dropped privileges it might be not possible to write
pidfile. For instance, if this binary is run as root (because
user wants it to write pidfile to some privileged location)
writing pidfile fails because privileges are dropped before we
even get to that.

Due to wrong specification of arguments to getopt_long() any
attempt to set pidfile resulted in:
1) the default to be leaked
2) the @pidfile variable to be set to NULL (because optarg is
NULL without this patch).

Since commit 67a1de0d19 there is no space anymore between the
version number and the parentheses when running configure with
--with-pkgversion=foo :
$ qemu-system-s390x --version
QEMU emulator version 2.11.50(foo)
But the space is included when building without that option
when building from a git checkout:
$ qemu-system-s390x --version
QEMU emulator version 2.11.50 (v2.11.0-1494-gbec9c64-dirty)
The same confusion exists with the "query-version" QMP command.
Let's fix this by introducing a proper QEMU_FULL_VERSION definition
that includes the space and parentheses, while the QEMU_PKGVERSION
should just cleanly contain the package version string itself.
Note that this also changes the behavior of the "query-version" QMP
command (the space and parentheses are not included there anymore),
but that's supposed to be OK since the strings there are not meant
to be parsed by other tools.

1) Return a generic sense if TEST UNIT READY does not provide one;
2) Fix two mistakes in copying from the spec.

libmultipath has recently changed its API. The new API supports multi-threaded
clients better. Unfortunately there is no backwards-compatibility, so we just
switch to the new one. Running QEMU compiled with the new library on the old
library will likely crash, while doing the opposite will cause QEMU not to
start at all (because udev, get_multipath_config and put_multipath_config
are undefined).

Proper support of persistent reservation for multipath devices requires
communication with the multipath daemon, so that the reservation is
registered and applied when a path comes up. The device mapper
utilities provide a library to do so; this patch makes qemu-pr-helper.c
detect multipath devices and, when one is found, delegate the operation
to libmpathpersist.

Introduce a privileged helper to run persistent reservation commands.
This lets virtual machines send persistent reservations without using
CAP_SYS_RAWIO or out-of-tree patches. The helper uses Unix permissions
and SCM_RIGHTS to restrict access to processes that can access its socket
and prove that they have an open file descriptor for a raw SCSI device.
The next patch will also correct the usage of persistent reservations
with multipath devices.
It would also be possible to support for Linux's IOC_PR_* ioctls in
the future, to support NVMe devices. For now, however, only SCSI is
supported.
