virAsprintf: correctly check return value
When virAsprintf was changed from a function to a macro reporting OOM error in dc6f2da, it was documented as returning 0 on success. This is incorrect, it returns the number of bytes written as asprintf does. Some of the functions were converted to use virAsprintf's return value directly, changing the return value on success from 0 to >= 0. For most of these, this is not a problem, but the change in virPCIDriverDir breaks PCI passthrough. The return value check in virhashtest pre-dates virAsprintf OOM conversion. vmwareMakePath seems to be unused.
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.
