[libvirt] PATCH: Fix compiler flag check for -Wformat-security

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Certain versions of GCC will ignore the -Wformat-security flag unless you
have also set the -Wformat flag. Unfortunately when checking flags, we only
check one at a time in isolation, so it was thinking -Wformat-security
is not supported in Fedora. The fix is to include all previously verified
flags during the check process, but not for -Werror because for added fun,
the autoconf test program itself causes compile warnings with some flags
we have. The patch also fixes 3 harmless format problems in virsh
