[libvirt] [PATCH 1/5] Fix crash passing an empty list to python openAuth() API

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange at redhat.com>

If passing a 'credtype' parameter which was an empty list
to the python openAuth() API, the 'credtype' field in
the virConnectAuth struct would not be initialized. This
lead to a crash when later trying to free that field.
