Daniel P. Berrangé 3b45fcd6b6 rpc: don't try to spawn non-existant daemon
If libvirt is built in client only mode, the libvirtd/virtqemud/etc
daemons won't exist. If the client is told to connect to a local
hypervisor, it'll see the socket doesn't exist, try to spawn the
daemon and then re-try connecting to the socket for a few seconds.
Ultimately this will fail because the daemon doesn't exist and the
user gets an error message

  error: Failed to connect socket to '/run/user/1000/libvirt/virtqemud-sock': No such file or directory

technically this is accurate, but it doesn't help identify the root
cause. With this change it will now report

  error: binary 'virtqemud' does not exist in $PATH: No such file or directory

and will skip all the socket connect retries

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.
