[RFC virt-manager] virtmanager: list active node devices only

With virt-manager application, it is possible to add inactive node
devices(eg: mediated devices) in host system to guest system. But it
is impossible to start a guest system with inactive node devices.
Also, it is not yet possible to start a node device with virt-manager
application. So, the user cannot use the inactive node device.

This patch filters out all inactive node devices and lists only active
node devices in virt-manager application, so that it is only possible
to add active node devices to the guest system.
