I would have done it sooner but I had trouble locating my script for

That's a straightforward change, patch sent.

I think virtlogd from the system would work too, but libvirtd in the
builddir probably does not have the right SELinux label.
make rpm
was the easiest way for me to test stuff that required SELinux changes.
I'm not sure what is the easiest equivalent after the Meson conversion.
Alternatively, copying context from the system binaries works,
but I'm not sure whether that's something we want to include in our
scripts/ repo.

I suspect it has something to do with socket activation.
