qemu: Adaptive timeout for connecting to monitor
    
    There were couple of reports on the list (e.g. [1]) that guests
    with huge amounts of RAM are unable to start because libvirt
    kills qemu in the initialization phase. The problem is that if
    guest is configured to use hugepages kernel has to zero them all
    out before handing over to qemu process. For instance, 402GiB
    worth of 1GiB pages took around 105 seconds (~3.8GiB/s). Since we
    do not want to make the timeout for connecting to monitor
    configurable, we have to teach libvirt to count with this
    fact. This commit implements "1s per each 1GiB of RAM" approach
    as suggested here [2].
