A user may specify a relative path for accessing qemu, qemu-img, etc.
through environment variables ($QEMU_PROG and friends) or a symlink.

If a test decides to change its working directory, relative paths will
cease to work, however. Work around this by making all of the paths to
programs that should undergo testing absolute. Besides "realpath", we
also have to use "which" to support programs in $PATH.

As a side effect, this fixes specifying these programs as symlinks for
out-of-tree builds: Before, you would have to create two symlinks, one
in the build and one in the source tree (the first one for common.config
to find, the second one for the iotest to use). Now it is sufficient to
create one in the build tree because common.config will resolve it.

'type -p' is more portable than 'which' - especially since our scripts
are bash scripts, and type is a bash builtin while which is not.

If you switch all of these to $(realpath -- "$(type -p "$QEMU_...")"),
you can add:

I'd love to, but this is what type -p outputs for me:

$ type -p qemu-img
qemu-img is /usr/bin/qemu-img

So I would need to parse the result (and it depends on the locale). If
that is indeed so, I'd rather stay with which, to be honest...

Huh? That's plain 'type' output.  Are you sure you're testing 'type -p'?

$ PATH=$PATH    # to forcefully clear bash's cache
$ type qemu-img
qemu-img is /usr/bin/qemu-img
$ type -p qemu-img
/usr/bin/qemu-img
$ qemu-img --help >/dev/null   # to repopulate qemu-img into the cache
$ type qemu-img
qemu-img is hashed (/usr/bin/qemu-img)
$ type -p qemu-img
/usr/bin/qemu-img

Plain 'type' does have to be parsed, but 'type -p' is required to be
machine-usable.

Oops. I tested it (both with -p and without) on zsh, then on bash, and I
forgot the -p on bash. Well, I'm going to trust you, then. O:-)
