New utility functions virFileCreate and virDirCreate
These functions create a new file or directory with the given
uid/gid. If the flag VIR_FILE_CREATE_AS_UID is given, they do this by
forking a new process, calling setuid/setgid in the new process, and
then creating the file. This is better than simply calling open then
fchown, because in the latter case, a root-squashing nfs server would
create the new file as user nobody, then refuse to allow fchown.
If VIR_FILE_CREATE_AS_UID is not specified, the simpler tactic of
creating the file/dir, then chowning is is used. This gives better
results in cases where the parent directory isn't on a root-squashing
NFS server, but doesn't give permission for the specified uid/gid to
create files. (Note that if the fork/setuid method fails to create the
file due to access privileges, the parent process will make a second
attempt using this simpler method.)
If the bit VIR_FILE_CREATE_ALLOW_EXIST is set in the flags, an
existing file/directory will not cause an error; in this case, the
function will simply set the permissions of the file/directory to
those requested. If VIR_FILE_CREATE_ALLOW_EXIST is not specified, an
existing file/directory is considered (and reported as) an error.
Return from both of these functions is 0 on success, or the value of
errno if there was a failure.
