[libvirt] [PATCH 3/3] remote: do not check for an existing config dir

[Pino Toscano]

When composing the path to the default known_hosts file (for the libssh
and libssh2 drivers), do not check whether the configuration directory
(determined by virGetUserConfigDirectory()) exists: both the drivers can
handle non-existing files, and are able to create them (and their
directories) in that case.

This adds a small behaviour change: before, the key for an unknown host,
and manually accepted, was saved only if the configuration directory
existed -- a bit incoherent behaviour though.
