[libvirt] PATCH: Another attempt to fix vbox driver open

The patches we just applied for the VirtualBox open method still were
not quite right. It would return VIR_DRV_OPEN_DECLINED when uri==NULL,
but before doing so it would have set conn->uri to vbox:///session. So
even though it declined the connection, all the later drivers would now
ignore it. Also, it now returns DECLINED for some real errors that
should be reported to the user.
Here's an alternative idea I've had for trying to address this. Some
goals:
- If the user gives a URI with a vbox:/// prefix, we should always
handle it, unless a 'server' is set when we leave it to the remote
driver
- If an invalid path is given we must give back a real error code
- If after deciding the URI is for us, any initialization fails
we must raise an error.
- If the vbox glue layer is missing, we should still raise errors
for requested URIs, so user knows their URI is correct.
To do this, I've taken the approach of registering a dummy vbox driver
if the glue layer is missing. This just parses the URI and always returns
an error for any vbox:// URIs that would otherwise work
