This function generalises the existing print_cmdline used to output the qemu
command line to output any given command line, and exports it to other modules.
It also adds a timestamp to the old print_cmdline output for consistency with
guestfs___print_timestamped_message.

New subject: [PATCH 2/4] Log the febootstrap-supermin-helper command line
A side-effect of change 17e7cb9937a63ed8f9bb0fb6ac7302758be76846 was the the
febootstrap-supermin-helper was no longer logged. This change adds it back using
the new guestfs___print_timestamped_argv internal function.

New subject: [PATCH 3/4] Call febootstrap-supermin-helper using the new -u and -g options
Use febootstrap-supermin-helper's new -u and -g command line options to setuid,
rather than doing it in libguestfs.
This resolves an issue with the generation of the cached appliance checksum. The
checksum was being generated by a call to febootstrap-supermin-helper through
popen(). Unfortunately, a bash misfeature meant that euid would be reset to uid,
and the checksum was generated for uid, not euid. When virt-v2v is writing to a
RHEV target, uid == 0 and euid == 36, which resulted in a cached appliance being
created for root with permissions for uid 36.

New subject: [PATCH 4/4] Ensure atomic creation of a cached appliance
Cached appliances are discovered by their predictable path. Previously we were
creating a cached appliance directly in this predictable path. This had at least
2 undesirable effects:
* Interrupting appliance creation would leave a corrupt appliance
* 2 processes could simultaneously attempt to create the same appliance, causing
corruption.
This patch causes the cached appliance to be created in a temporary directory,
and then renamed to the predictable path. As rename is an atomic operation, this
makes the whole creation atomic.
This patch also changes the predictable path to have a prefix of 'guestfs.'.
This will make it simpler for system administrators to clean up old cached
appliances.
This patch resolves RHBZ#639405
