[PATCH v2 4/5] qemu: Don't report false error from MigrateFinish

[Jiri Denemark <jdenemar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

virDomainMigrateFinish* APIs were unfortunately designed to return the
pointer to the domain on destination and NULL on error. This looks OK in
normal cases but the same API is also called when we know migration
failed and thus we expect Finish to return NULL even if it actually did
all it was supposed to do without any error. The call is defined to
return nonnull domain pointer over RPC, which means returning NULL will
always result in an error being send. If this was not in fact an error,
the API itself wouldn't set anything to the thread local virError, which
makes the RPC layer come up with it's own "Library function returned
error but did not set virError" error.

This is quite confusing and also hard to detect by the caller. This
patch adds a special error code which can be used to check that Finish
successfully aborted migration.
