Enable running the daemon under valgrind.
This commit allows you to run the daemon under valgrind. You have to enable it at configure time: ./configure --enable-valgrind-daemon This should *not* be done for production builds. When this feature is enabled, valgrind is added to the appliance and the daemon is run under valgrind. Log messages from valgrind are passed back over a virtio-serial channel into a file called 'valgrind.log.$PID' in the top build directory. Running 'make check', 'make extra-tests' etc causes many valgrind.log.* files to be created which must be examined by hand.
