During a FileIn command (eg. upload, tar-in) if both sides

The reason for the lost synch was because the daemon was ignoring
this case and sending an error message back which the library side

Fix this by checking in the daemon for the case where the library
also cancels during daemon cancellation, and not sending an error
messages.

case.

daemon: Fix for commands working on absolute symbolic links (RHBZ#579608).
The original idea (suggested by Al Viro) was to fork and chroot
into the sysroot and read the file from there. Because of the
separate process being chrooted, absolute links would be resolved
correctly. The slightly modified idea is to open the file in the
daemon process (but temporarily chrooted, so symlinks resolve
correctly), fork, and have the subprocess just be responsible for
copying the file. (Strictly speaking we don't need to fork, but
this implementation is simpler).
This commit just includes the changes needed to the command*()
functions in daemon/guestfsd.c and adds an absolute symlink to
the test ISO for testing it. Later commits will fix the broken
daemon commands themselves.

daemon: Change command to abort() on resource problems.
The comment in the code describes it thus:
/* Note: abort is used in a few places along the error paths early
* in this function. This is because (a) cleaning up correctly is
* very complex at these places and (b) abort is used when a
* resource problem is indicated which would be due to much more
* serious issues - eg. memory or file descriptor leaks. We
* wouldn't expect fork(2) or pipe(2) to fail in normal
* circumstances.
