    launch: libvirt: Clearer message when libvirt screws up.
    
    Instead of:
    
    libguestfs: error: could not create appliance through libvirt.
    Try using the direct backend to run qemu directly without libvirt,
    by setting the LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct environment variable.: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=/tmp/libguestfs3RnJSd/snapshot2,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,format=qcow2,cache=writeback: could not open disk image /tmp/libguestfs3RnJSd/snapshot2: Could not open backing file: Could not open '/home/lsm5/fimagebuilder/fedora-imagebuilder/fedora-imagebuilder-sda.qcow2': Permission denied
    
    it will now say:
    
    libguestfs: error: could not create appliance through libvirt.
    
    Try running qemu directly without libvirt using this environment variable:
    export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct
    
    Original error from libvirt: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=/tmp/libguestfs3RnJSd/snapshot2,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,format=qcow2,cache=writeback: could not open disk image /tmp/libguestfs3RnJSd/snapshot2: Could not open backing file: Could not open '/home/lsm5/fimagebuilder/fedora-imagebuilder/fedora-imagebuilder-sda.qcow2': Permission denied
    
    (cherry picked from commit 8acb91a58487eba2f3598457a97afe3e559c52af)
