remote: Forbid default "/session" connections when using ssh transport
Without the socket path explicitly specified, the remote driver tried to connect to the "/system" instance socket even if "/session" was specified in the uri. With this patch this configuration now produces an error. It is still possible to initiate a session connection with specifying the path to the socket manually and also manually starting the session daemon. This was also possible prior to this patch, This is a minimal fix. We may decide to support remote session connections using ssh but this will require changes to the remote driver code so this fix shouldn't cause regressions in the case we decide to do that.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
