I think it would make more sense to have this return @copy (or call it
@dst, doesn't matter) rather than 0, -1 which only means @dst wasn't
populated. There's only 1 consumer (in patch 2)...
w/ the return of char** similar to other vir*Copy's and even
virStringListAdd...

Ironically virStringListAdd does essentially the same thing if you pass
@item==NULL since VIR_STRDUP(x, NULL) just sets x to NULL... Of course
the other difference is that @dst in the *Add case could be an array of
NULL string entries.
