H A Dqemu-sockets.c0ef705a2 Tue May 05 10:07:19 CDT 2015 Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com> qemu-sockets: Report explicit error if unlink fails

Consider this case:

$ ls -ld ~/root-owned/
drwx--x--x. 2 root root 4096 Apr 29 12:55 /home/crobinso/root-owned/
$ ls -l ~/root-owned/foo.sock
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 crobinso crobinso 0 Apr 29 12:55 /home/crobinso/root-owned/foo.sock

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -vnc unix:~/root-owned/foo.sock
qemu-system-x86_64: -vnc unix:/home/crobinso/root-owned/foo.sock: Failed to start VNC server: Failed to bind socket to /home/crobinso/root-owned/foo.sock: Address already in use

...which is techinically true, but the real error is that we failed to
unlink. So report it.

This may seem pathological but it's a real possibility via libvirt.
