[libvirt] [PATCH] Drive hot-unplug: reliable parsing of HMP results

Hot-unplugging a disk from a guest that supports hot-unplugging generates an error
in the libvirt log when running QEMU with the "-msg timestamp=on" flag.

2015-08-06 10:48:59.945+0000: 11662: error : qemuMonitorTextDriveDel:2594 :
operation failed: deleting drive-virtio-disk4 drive failed:
2015-08-06T10:48:59.945058Z Device 'drive-virtio-disk4' not found

This error is caused because the HMP results are getting prefixed with a timestamp.
Parsing the output is not reliable with STRPREFIX as the results can be prefixed with a timestamp.

Using strstr ensures that parsing the output works whether the results are prefixed or not.
