    tools/libxl: search PATH for QEMU if `QEMU_XEN_PATH` is not absolute
    
    `QEMU_XEN_PATH` will be configured as `qemu-system-i386` with no clue 
where, if
    `--with-system-qemu` is set without giving a path (as matched in the case 
`yes`
    but not `*`). However, the existence of the executable is checked by 
`access()`,
    that will not look for anywhere in $PATH but the current directory. And 
since it
    is possible for `qemu-system-i386` (or any other configured values) to be
    executed from PATH later, we'd better find that in PATH and return the full 
path
    for the caller to check against.
