These days libvirt is pretty reliable and even remote connections
(not the default for libvirt-guests anyway) either work or fail but are
uncommon to be flaky.
On the other hand users might have disabled the service and while we are
After=libvirtd for ordering we are not Requiring it. Adding that or any
harder dependency might break our ordering. But if people have disabled
libvirt they will do a full retry loop until timeout.
Lets drop the loop to be much faster if a remote is not reachable.

libvirt-guests: Wait for libvirtd to initialize
The race described in that commit no longer exists using systemd as
we now have socket activation. If not using systemd, then it is also
safe if using the libvirtd --daemon flag, since the parent process
won't return to the caller until the child is accepting connections.
