[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Fixing uninitialised variable inside virQEMUDriverConfigLoadFile.

Since virConfGetValueBool() can return earlier, the parameter 'value'
might be not initialised properly inside this method. Another proof:
Valgrind is returning this error during the libvirtd daemon startup:

==16199== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
