[libvirt] [PATCH] python: plug memory leak on libvirt_virConnectOpenAuth

[ajia at redhat.com]

From: Alex Jia <ajia at redhat.com>

* Detected by valgrind. Leak introduced in commit 5ab109f.

* python/libvirt-override.c: avoid memory leak on libvirt_virConnectOpenAuth.

* How to reproduce?

  % valgrind -v --leak-check=full virt-clone --print-xml
  Note: it can hit the issue although options are incomplete.

* Actual valgrind result:

==1801== 12 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 25 of 3,270
