[libvirt] [PATCH v3 2/2] qemu: Default hwclock source for sPAPR to RTC

QEMU fails to launch a sPAPR guest with clock sources other that RTC. Internally qemu only uses RTC timer for hwclock. This patch reports the right error message instead of qemu erroring out when any other timer other than RTC is used.
