Description Philipp Hahn

libvirt has gained ACL support: <https://libvirt.org/acl.html>
This allows to configure scenarios, where users are only allowed to control their VMs.

This does not work with UVMM, since UVMMd uses the machine account to connect to libvirtd.
Adding support would require a huge change to UVMM, as UVMMd would need to get the user credentials from UMC and use that to connect to each libvirtd.
