[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: don't fail capabilities check on 0.12.x

Fixes regression introduced in commit 2211518, where all qemu 0.12.x
fails to start, as does qemu 0.13.x lacking the pci-assign device.

* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (qemuCapsExtractVersionInfo): Check
for -device driver,? support.
(qemuCapsExtractDeviceStr): Avoid failure if all probed devices
are unsupported.
Reported by Ken Congyang.
