Martin Kletzander 23c4794488 vmx: Check serialX.vspc before serialX.fileName
When using vSPC (Virtual Serial Port Concentrator) in vSphere the actual
address for it is saved in serialX.vspc in which case the
serialX.fileName is most probably something we can't get any useful
information from and we also fail during the parsing rendering any
dumpxml and similar tries unsuccessful.

Instead of parsing the vspc URL with something along the lines of
`virURIParse(vspc ? vspc : fileName)`, which could lead to us reporting
information that is very prune to misuse (the vSPC seemingly has a
protocol on top of the telnet connection; redefining the domain would
change the behaviour; the URL might have a fragment we are not saving;
etc.) or adding more XML knobs to indicate vSPC usage (which we would
not be able to configure; we'd have to properly error out everywhere;
etc.) let's just report dummy serial port that leads to nowhere (i.e.
type="null").

Libvirt API for virtualization

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.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
