Avoid virGetVersion failure on specific driver support configurations

Browse Source 
virGetVersion itself doesn't take a virConnectPtr, but in order to obtain
the hypervisor version against which libvirt was compiled it is used in
combination with virConnectGetType like this:

hvType = virConnectGetType(conn)
virGetVersion(&libVer, hvType, &typeVer)

When virConnectGetType is called on a remote connection then the remote
driver returns the type of the underlying driver on the server side, for
example QEMU. Then virGetVersion compares hvType to a set of strings that
depend on configure options and returns LIBVIR_VERSION_NUMBER in most
cases. Now this fails in case libvirt on the client side is just compiled
with the remote driver enabled only and the server side has the actual
driver such as the QEMU driver. It just happens to work when the actual
driver is enabled on client and server side. But that's not always true.
I noticed this on FreeBSD:

freebsd# virsh -c qemu+tcp://192.168.178.22/system version
Compiled against library: libvir 0.9.2
error: failed to get the library version
error: this function is not supported by the connection driver: virGetVersion

This is not FreeBSD specific, happens on Windows as well due to the
similar driver support configuration. The problem is that virConnectGetType
returns QEMU, but virGetVersion on the client side only accepts Remote
as hvType due to all other drivers being disabled on the client side.

Daniel P. Berrange suggested to get rid of all the conditional code in
virGetVersion, ignoring the hvType and always setting typeVer to
LIBVIR_VERSION_NUMBER. virConnectGetVersion is supposed to be used to
obtain the hypervisor version.
