[libvirt PATCH v2 5/7] util: change call sequence for virPCIDeviceFindCapabilityOffset()

Previously there was no way to differentiate between this function 1)
encountering an error while reading the pci config, and 2) determining
that the device in question is a conventional PCI device, and so has
no Express Capabilities.

The difference between these two conditions is important, because an
unprivileged libvirtd will be unable to read all of the pci config (it
can only read the first 64 bytes, and will get ENOENT when it tries to
seek past that limit) even though the device is in fact a PCIe device.

This patch changes virPCIDeviceFindCapabilityOffset() to put the
determined offset into an argument of the function (rather than
sending it back as the return value), and to return the standard "0 on
success, -1 on failure". Failure is determined by checking the value
of errno after each attemptd read of the config file (which can only
work reliably if errno is reset to 0 before each read, and after
virPCIDeviceFindCapabilityOffset() has finished examining it).

(NB: if the config file is read successfully, but no Express
Capabilities are found, then the function returns success, but the
returned offset will be 0 (which is an impossible offset for Express
Capabilities, and so easily recognizeable).

An upcoming patch will take advantage of the change made here.
