Clean up remote driver connection open code
The remote driver has had a long term hack to deal with the fact that the old Xen driver worked outside libvirtd, but the rest of the drivers worked inside. So you could have a local hypervisor driver but everything else go via the remote driver. The Xen driver long ago moved inside libvirtd, so this hack is no longer needed. Thus we should open use the remote driver for secondary drivers if the primary driver is already the remote driver.
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.
