The libvirt.c front-end can be compiled in 'pedantic' mode in which case it
explicitly refuses operations with side-effects in read-only connections.
When doing so, however, it was not recording any error message so feedback
to the user was misleading / obsure. This patch adds an extra error code
VIR_ERR_READ_ONLY which is used when an operation is denied due to a read
only connection.
This patch also passes 'VIR_DRV_OPEN_QUIET' to the 'open' method so tell
the XenD driver not complain if it fails to open a HV connection. This is
because it was complaining whenever trying to open a test:///default
connection.

argh, I developped a similar patch independantly, using
"VIR_ERR_OPERATION_DENIED" instead, it also reports the operation name
and drop the #ifdef PEDANTIC , making it the default behaviour.

That should not conflict, yeah it's probably better to have the libvirt
front-end function report the connection error than letting the drivers
emit errors themselves. The only problem is that you won't detect hypervisor
connection failure say if you manage to connect with xend, because at least
one access method succeeded ...

Okay, I'm afraid everything else clashes with my own patch <grin/>
which is attached below. I also swapped a few function entry tests.

Resolving my changes with the ones you committed was pretty trivial so its
committed now.

Ok, this is committed.
