qemurunner: Ensure pid location is deterministic

The pid location could vary due to changes in cwd as only a filename
is specified, not a full path. This in theory could be resulting in
some of our autobuilder failures. Whilst its difficult to know if this
is causing a problem, Using a full path removes any question of such an
issue.
