[libvirt] [PATCH] build: fix build with autoconf 2.59

Commit 350583c8 broke development on a RHEL 5 box, where the
ancient Autoconf 2.59 lacks AS_VERSION_STRING.  Rather than
backport the complex awk script that newer autoconf uses for
true strverscmp comparisons from the shell, it was easier to
just open-code a shell case statement.

* configure.ac (qemu_version): Open-code a replacement for
AS_VERSION_CHECK.

Pushing under the build-breaker rule.  'make' still failed:
util/virfile.c: In function 'virFileLoopDeviceAssociate':
util/virfile.c:580: error: 'LO_FLAGS_AUTOCLEAR' undeclared (first use in this function)

But at least I got past the './autogen.sh' failure.
