[libvirt] [PATCH][QEMU driver] Catch cdrom change error

Currently when we attempt to change the cdrom in a qemu VM the monitor
doesn't generate an error if the target filename doesn't exist.  I've
submitted a patch[1] for this.  This patch is the libvirt qemu-driver
side which catches the error message from the monitor and reportes the
error to libvirt.  This means that virsh attach-disk cdrom commands
won't appear to succeed when qemu change command actually failed.

I've tested this patch on an older libvirt (rebuild libvirt-0.7.0 on my
ubuntu host) but haven't rebuilt against git head since I can't
quite compile that on my host.
