This patch adds a helper that can be used to create a tap device attached to
a bridge device. Since this helper is minimal in what it does, it can be
given CAP_NET_ADMIN which allows qemu to avoid running as root while still
satisfying the majority of what users tend to want to do with tap devices.
The way this all works is that qemu launches this helper passing a bridge
name and the name of an inherited file descriptor. The descriptor is one
end of a socketpair() of domain sockets. This domain socket is used to
transmit a file descriptor of the opened tap device from the helper to qemu.
The helper can then exit and let qemu use the tap device.

Commit 7b93fadf3a38d1ed65ea5536a52efc2772c6e3b8 "Add basic version
of bridge helper" put the bridge helper executable into a fixed
${prefix}/libexec/ location, instead of using ${libexecdir} for
this. At the same time, --libexecdir is being happily ignored
by ./configure. Even more, the same patch sets unused $libexecdir
variable in the generated config-host.mak, and uses fixed string
(\${prefix}/libexecdir) for the bridge helper binary.
Fix this braindamage by introducing $libexecdir variable, using
it for the bridge helper binary, and recognizing --libexecdir.
This patch is applicable to stable-1.1.
