Utilise the new virDomainDefIDsParseString() for that.

This is one of the more complex ones since there is also a function that
reads relevant metadata from a save image XML.  In order not to extract
the parsing out of the function (and make the function basically trivial
and all callers more complex) add a callback to the function which will
be used to check the ACLs.  And since this function is called in APIs
that perform ACL checks both with and without flags, add two of them for
good measure.

Two (possibly stupid) questions:

0. Would making the EnsureACL work on some kind of virDomainIDDef
structure containing only the necessary elements make sure nobody adds
an ACL check on a fully-parsed domain XML in the future?

+
+        if (ensureACLWithFlags && ensureACLWithFlags(conn, aclDef, flags) < 0)
+            goto end;

1. Does using callbacks somehow evade the syntax check, or we don't
check for the presence of those there?

    *ret_def = g_steal_pointer(&def);
