util: Fix virGetLastErrorMessage to return proper error when 'err' is NULL
Both virGetLastError and virGetLastErrorMessage call virLastErrorObject method that returns a thread-local error object. However, if a direct call to malloc or pthread_setspecific (probably also due to malloc, since it sets ENOMEM) fail, virLastErrorObject returns NULL which, although incorrectly interpreted by virGetLastError as no error, still requires the caller to check for NULL pointer. This isn't the case with virGetLastErrorMessage that also treated it incorrectly as no error, but returned the literal "no error". This patch tweaks the checks in the virGetLastErrorMessage function, so that if virLastErrorObject failed, it returned "unknown error" which is equivalent to the current approach with virGetLastError and if it returned NULL, "unknown error" was set.

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.
