Your problem is simple. Hyper-V support was added to libvirt in
version 0.9.5, so your libvirt 0.9.3 is too old and doesn't know about
Hyper-V.

What's happening here is that libvirt doesn't know how to handle a URI
with hyperv:// scheme and tries to connect to a non-existing libvirtd
on 192.168.58.26. Because you override the default libvirtd TLS port
libvirt tries to open a TLS session with the WinRM server on the
unencrypted port 5985 on your Hyper-V host but fails with a TLS
related error message.

The solution is to upgrade your libvirt version to 0.9.5 or newer and
try again with the same virsh command. Also make sure that Hyper-V
support is enabled in your new libvirt build, it requires openwsman.
