Bug description:
  [ problem description ]

  sockfile_check_retries is first introduced by #1455608, for preventing
  the failure case of sockfile not ready, but it was default to a hard-
  coded value "5", it might be too short for a busy system boot.

  #1455608 -
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1455608

  
  [ step to reproduce ]

  setup a clean install system (Ubuntu Server 14.04.4 LTS), and assemble
  os disk as RAID-1, boot up some guest instances (count > 10, start-at-
  boot), force shutdown host by pressing power-button for 3s ~ 5s, or
  via IPMI command, then power-on afterward. it may sometimes failed to
  get sockfile ready after in "post-start" script, with an line of error
  in /var/log/syslog,

  ==> kernel: [ 313.059830] init: libvirt-bin post-start process (2430)
  terminated with status 1 <==

  since there's multiple VMs Read/Write before a non-graceful shutdown,
  RAID devices need to re-sync after boot, and lead to a slow response,
  but start-up script for libvirt-bin can only wait 5 cycles, 2 seconds
  wait for each cycle, so it will timed-out after 10s, and exit with
  "1".

  
  [ possible solution ]

  extend the retry times for sockfile waiting, and make it possible to
  change via editing `/etc/default/libvirt-bin` file.

  <please see the patch file as attachment>
