util: add qemu_write_pidfile()

There are variants of qemu_create_pidfile() in qemu-pr-helper and
qemu-ga. Let's have a common implementation in libqemuutil.

The code is initially based from pr-helper write_pidfile(), with
various improvements and suggestions from Daniel Berrangé:

  QEMU will leave the pidfile existing on disk when it exits which
  initially made me think it avoids the deletion race. The app
  managing QEMU, however, may well delete the pidfile after it has
  seen QEMU exit, and even if the app locks the pidfile before
  deleting it, there is still a race.

  eg consider the following sequence

        QEMU 1        libvirtd        QEMU 2

  1.    lock(pidfile)

  2.    exit()

  3.                 open(pidfile)

  4.                 lock(pidfile)

  5.                                  open(pidfile)

  6.                 unlink(pidfile)

  7.                 close(pidfile)

  8.                                  lock(pidfile)

  IOW, at step 8 the new QEMU has successfully acquired the lock, but
  the pidfile no longer exists on disk because it was deleted after
  the original QEMU exited.

  While we could just say no external app should ever delete the
  pidfile, I don't think that is satisfactory as people don't read
  docs, and admins don't like stale pidfiles being left around on
  disk.

  To make this robust, I think we might want to copy libvirt's
  approach to pidfile acquisition which runs in a loop and checks that
  the file on disk /after/ acquiring the lock matches the file that
  was locked. Then we could in fact safely let QEMU delete its own
  pidfiles on clean exit..
