[libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] utils: Return proper value for virGet{User, Group}ID

These two functions are used to translate user or group name into
a numerical ID. Depending on platform we are building for, we
have an implementation for UNIX-like systems, and a stub
implementation for Windows. While the former returns a negative
value on error, the latter simply reports an error (saying
something about missing implementation) and returns the value of
zero. This makes the caller think function did succeed and passed
variable had been set to the correct value. Well, it was not.
Even compiler spots this when compiling for win32:
