CVE-2014-7823: dumpxml: security hole with migratable flag
    
    Commit 28f8dfd (v1.0.0) introduced a security hole: in at least
    the qemu implementation of virDomainGetXMLDesc, the use of the
    flag VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE (which is usable from a read-only
    connection) triggers the implicit use of VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE
    prior to calling qemuDomainFormatXML.  However, the use of
    VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE is supposed to be restricted to read-write
    clients only.  This patch treats the migratable flag as requiring
    the same permissions, rather than analyzing what might break if
    migratable xml no longer includes secret information.
    
    Fortunately, the information leak is low-risk: all that is gated
    by the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE flag is the VNC connection password;
    but VNC passwords are already weak (FIPS forbids their use, and
    on a non-FIPS machine, anyone stupid enough to trust a max-8-byte
    password sent in plaintext over the network deserves what they
    get).  SPICE offers better security than VNC, and all other
    secrets are properly protected by use of virSecret associations
    rather than direct output in domain XML.
    
    * src/remote/remote_protocol.x (REMOTE_PROC_DOMAIN_GET_XML_DESC):
    Tighten rules on use of migratable flag.
    * src/libvirt-domain.c (virDomainGetXMLDesc): Likewise.
