build: don't fail if libnl-3 is not found
Commit 9298bfb changed configure to split the libnl into two separate pkg config checks instead of nesting the second check on the failure path of the first. But the default pkg config behavior is to abort configure if a check fails. Since we have a second check lined up, we need an explicit failure case that does not abort if the first check fails. Meanwhile, commit 51b708c is reverted. It did not fix any behavior, and in fact, introduced a regression to the fallback case when the user explicitly sets $LIBNL_CFLAGS. * configure.ac: Don't abort if libnl-3 is not found.
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.
