Re: [PATCH 1/2] qemu_process: Be nicer to killing QEMU when probing caps

The qemuProcessQMPStop() function is intended to kill this dummy QEMU process we started only for querying capabilities. Nevertheless, it may be not plain QEMU binary we executed, but in fact it may be a memcheck tool (e.g. valgrind) that executes QEMU later. By switching to virProcessKillPainfully() we allow this wrapper tool to exit gracefully. Another up side is that virProcessKillPainfully() reports an error so no need for us to VIR_ERROR() ourselves.
