[libvirt] [PATCH] convert missing server entry points into unsupported errors

[Daniel Veillard]

  If using a remote access, sometimes an RPC entry point is not
available, and currently we just end up with a raw:
   error: unknown procedure: xxx
error, while this should be more cleanly reported as an unsupported
entry point like for local access, e.g when calling an older RHEL-5.3

paphio:~/libvirt ->

the application knows that some feature may not be avilable but expects
the VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT to be reported, not an internal RPC problem,

I also noticed that we do

  "%s", thiscall->err.message ? *thiscall->err.message : NULL);

for passing the error message, which is a sure way to crash if there is
no error message and changing this to

  "%s", thiscall->err.message ? *thiscall->err.message : "unknown");

I expect the server to always return an error message in practice, but
this need fixing.
