[libvirt] [PATCH v2 4/6] daemon: Raise an error if 'max_workers' < 1 in libvirtd.conf

Hypervisor drivers (e.g. QEMU) assume that they run in a separate thread from the main event loop thread otherwise deadlocks can occur. Therefore let's report an error if max_workers < 1 is set in the libvirtd configuration file.
