[libvirt] [PATCH v2] esx: do not store escaped password in esxVI_Context.

This patch fixes an issue where screenshot API call was failing when
the esx/vcenter password contains special characters such as
apostrophee. The reason for failures was that passwords were escaped
for XML and stored in esxVI_Context which was then passed to raw CURL
API calls where the password must be passed in original form to
authenticate successfully. So this patch addresses this by storing
original passwords in the esxVI_Context struct and escape only for
esxVI_Login call.
---

Changes made since v1:
 * Also patch esxVI_EnsureSession
 * Added cleanup to esxVI_Context_Connect to make sure escapedPassword
   is freed where appropiate. Also move the code block that escapes the
   password to happen earlier in the function body so that it can bail
   earlier in the event of failure and skip the rest of the processing.
 * Updated virReportError calls to pass syntax-check
