qemu_opts_append: Play nicely with QemuOptsList's head
When running a libvirt test suite I've noticed the qemu-img is
crashing occasionally. Tracing the problem down led me to the
following valgrind output:
qemu.git $ valgrind -q ./qemu-img create -f qed -obacking_file=/dev/null,backing_fmt=raw qed

The problem is apparently in the qemu_opts_append(). Well, if it
gets called twice or more. On the first call, when @dst is NULL
some initialization is done during which @dst->head list gets
initialized. The list is initialized in a way, so that the list
tail points at the list head. However, the next time
qemu_opts_append() is called for new options to be added,
g_realloc() may move @dst to a new address making the old list tail
point at an invalid address. If that's the case, we must update the
list pointers.
