Currently when libvirt has a serious error doing I/O and/or parsing
of the QEMU monitor, it will kill off the guest. Application developers
have expressed a desire for more graceful handling of this scenario.
In particular to allow the guest OS to continue to run, without any
further monitor interactons, and then kill/restart it at a time which
is convenient to the guest admin/apps.

New in this posting:

  - Change the name of the event to 'CONTROL_ERROR' and use the
    generic callback, instead of passing a type field
  - Add python dispatch code
  - Add 3rd patch to improve qemu monitor error reporting
