If probing capabilities via QMP fails, we now have a check
that prevents us falling back to -help parsing. Unfortunately
the error message
"Failed to probe capabilities for /usr/bin/qemu-kvm:
unsupported configuration: QEMU 2.1.2 is too new for help parsing"
is proving rather unhelpful to the user. We need to be telling
them why QMP failed (the root cause), rather than they can't
use -help (the side effect).
To do this we should capture stderr during QMP probing, and
if -help parsing then sees a new QEMU version, we know that
QMP should have worked, and so we can show the messages from
stderr. The message thus becomes
"Failed to probe capabilities for /usr/bin/qemu-kvm:
internal error: QEMU / QMP failed: Could not access
KVM kernel module: No such file or directory
failed to initialize KVM: No such file or directory"
