[libvirt] [PATCH] cpu: Fail when CPU type cannot be detected from XML

When autodetecting whether XML describes guest or host CPU, the presence
of <arch> element is checked. If it's present, we treat the XML as host
CPU definition. Which is right, since guest CPU definitions do not
contain <arch> element. However, if at the same time the root <cpu>
element contains `match' attribute, we would silently ignore it and
still treat the XML as host CPU. We should rather refuse such invalid
XML.
