libvirt-guests: Wait for libvirtd to initialize
I've noticed that in some cases systemd was quick enough and even if libvirt-guests.service is marked to be started after the libvirtd.service my guests were not resumed as libvirt-guests.sh failed to connect. This is because of a simple fact: systemd correctly starts libvirt-guests after it execs libvirtd. However, the daemon is not able to accept connections right from the start. It's doing some initialization which may take ages. This problem is not limited to systemd only, indeed. Any init system that is able to startup services in parallel (e.g. OpenRC) may run into this situation. The fix is to try connecting not only once, but continuously a few times with a small sleep in between tries.

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.
