[libvirt] [PATCH 4/4] storageVolCreateXMLFrom: Check if backend knows how to createVol

It is highly unlikely that a backend will know how to create a
volume from a different volume (buildVolFrom) and not know how to
create an empty volume (createVol). But:
1) we call the function without any prior check so if that's the
case we would SIGSEGV immediatelly
2) it's better to be safe than sorry.
