rpc: don't try to spawn non-existant daemon

If libvirt is built in client only mode, the libvirtd/virtqemud/etc
daemons won't exist. If the client is told to connect to a local
hypervisor, it'll see the socket doesn't exist, try to spawn the
daemon and then re-try connecting to the socket for a few seconds.
Ultimately this will fail because the daemon doesn't exist and the
user gets an error message

  error: Failed to connect socket to '/run/user/1000/libvirt/virtqemud-sock': No such file or directory

technically this is accurate, but it doesn't help identify the root
cause. With this change it will now report

  error: binary 'virtqemud' does not exist in $PATH: No such file or directory

and will skip all the socket connect retries
