Daniel P. Berrangé 3e9076e777 secrets: add support for running secret driver in embedded mode
This enables support for running the secret driver embedded to the
calling application process using a URI:

   secret:///embed?root=/some/path

When using the embedded mode with a root=/var/tmp/embed, the
driver will use the following paths:

       configDir: /var/tmp/embed/etc/secrets
        stateDir: /var/tmp/embed/run/secrets

These are identical whether the embedded driver is privileged
or unprivileged.

This compares with the system instance which uses

       configDir: /etc/libvirt/secrets
        stateDir: /var/lib/libvirt/secrets

When an embedded instance of the secret driver is open, any other
embedded drivers will automatically use the embedded secret driver.

<p>
The libvirt public API delegates its implementation to one or
more internal drivers, depending on the <a href="uri.html">connection URI</a>
passed when initializing the library. There is always a hypervisor driver
active, and if the libvirt daemon is available there will usually be a
network and storage driver active.
