If the hostname of the current virtualization machine could not be resolved, then libvirtd would fail to start. However, for disconnected operation (on a laptop, for instance) the hostname may very legitimately not be resolvable. This patch makes it so that if we can't resolve the hostname, avahi doesn't fail, it just uses a less useful MDNS string.
