[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Report cmdline output if VM dies early

qemuReadLogOutput early VM death detection is racy and won't always work.
Startup then errors when connecting to the VM monitor. This won't report
the emulator cmdline output which is typically the most useful diagnostic.

Check if the VM has died at the very end of the monitor connection step,
and if so, report the cmdline output.
