The bhyveConnectAgent() function calls qemuAgentOpen() to open an agent connection. If it fails, e.g. because of insufficient permissions to open the socket, it returns NULL. Currently, if that happens, bhyveConnectAgent() just sets agentError to true and exits with 0. This does not match the contract of bhyveDomainEnsureAgent(), which should either provide an agent connection or fail. Fix that by returning -1 when qemuAgentOpen() fails. To make intent clearer, add a documentation for bhyveConnectAgent().
