[libvirt] [PATCH v2] Produce more verbose error if cppi not found
It's fairly easy (especially for new contributors) to not spot
the 'cppi not installed' line in the syntax-check output. Turn it
into a banner that is more visible and at the same time add it as
a build dependency. Unfortunately, RHEL doesn't ship cppi so we
can add the dependency only for Fedora.
