This is required because we removed the WITH_DBUS conditional
from virsystemd. To eliminate this would require that we remove
DBusMessage from the virdbus.h header files too. That is doable
but a bigger job and not really needed to fix this current build
problem, so I think this is appropriate fix for this current
patch.

The --without-systemd flag is about use of the libsystemd-daemon.so
library, which is used for daemon startup notification.
Everything else related to systemd is just plain DBus API calls, so
it is not appropriate to tie them to the --without-systemd flag. All
DBus calls are dealt with by runtime checks for the service, rather
than compile time checks for a lbirary.

The "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod" method is a standard error
code that is to be raised by DBus services, when the method requested does
not exist. This is exactly the scenario we are dealing with here. We tried
to run the CreateMachineWithNetwork method and it doesn't exist, so looking
for the UnknownMethod error name is the correct handling for this scenario
and how DBus error handling is intended to work.
