Subject: [PATCH] qemu: Ignore nwfilter binding instantiation issues during
 reconnect

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1607202

It's essentially stated in the nwfilterBindingDelete that we
will allow the admin to shoot themselves in the foot by deleting
the nwfilter binding which then allows them to undefine the
nwfilter that is in use for the running guest...

However, by allowing this we cause a problem for libvirtd
restart reconnect processing which would then try to recreate
the missing binding attempting to use the deleted filter
resulting in an error and thus shutting the guest down.

So rather than keep adding virDomainConfNWFilterInstantiate
flags to "ignore" specific error conditions, modify the logic
to ignore, but VIR_WARN errors other than ignoreExists. This
will at least allow the guest to not shutdown for only nwfilter
binding errors that we can now perhaps recover from since we
have the binding create/delete capability.
