I though it would be nice to have a reference counter increased through
this API so other thread don't close it right in the middle.
But now as I am rethinking this again - it is already done on libvirt level.
IOW in a racy situation it just make this API more probable to fetch
result. It depends if the last virConnectClose() is scheduled before of
after virConnectRef().

So yeah, I should have dropped it. Fixed on my local branch now.
