[PATCH 2/5] qemu: agent: ignore garbage while waiting for sync reply

[Nikolay Shirokovskiy <nshirokovskiy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After sync is sent we can receive garbare and this is not error.
Consider next regular case:

1. libvirtd sends sync
2. qga sends partial sync reply and die
3. libvirtd sends sync
4. qga sends sync reply
5. libvirtd receives garbage
  (half of first reply and second reply together)

We should handle this situation as it is recoverable.
Next sync can succeed. Let's report reply is NULL,
it will be converted to the VIR_ERR_AGENT_UNSYNCED
which signals client to retry.
