This option was requested by virt-test team so they can run tests with Qemu and "-sandbox on" set without breaking whole test if host doesn't have support for seccomp in kernel. It covers two possibilities:
1) Host kernel support does not support seccomp, but user installed Qemu package with sandbox support: Libseccomp will fail -> qemu will fail nicely and won't stop execution. 2) Host kernel has support but Qemu package wasn't built with sandbox feature. Qemu will fail nicely and won't stop execution.
