libvirt prefers opening the TCP connection itself, for two reasons.
First, connection failed errors can be detected easier, without having
to parse qemu's error output.
Second, libvirt might be asked to secure the transfer by tunnelling the
communication through an TLS layer.
Therefore, libvirt opens the TCP connection itself and passes an FD to qemu
using QMP and a POSIX-specific mechanism.
Hence, in order to make the reverse-path work in such cases, qemu needs to
distinguish if the transmitted FD is a socket (reverse-path available)
or not (reverse-path might not be available) and use the corresponding
abstraction.
