remote: switch to auto-spawn modular daemons by default

When determining what socket path to connect to for a given URI we will

 - Connect to the driver specific daemon if its UNIX socket exists
 - Connect to libvirtd if its UNIX socket exists
 - If non-root, auto-spawn a daemon based on the default mode

Historically the last point would result in spawning libvirtd, but with
this change we now spawn a modular daemon. Remote client probing logic
will pick a specific hypervisor daemon to connect to when the URI is
NULL.
