[RFC PATCH 01/10] libvirtd: Alter refcnt processing for domain server objects

[John Ferlan <jferlan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Once virNetDaemonAddServer returns, the @srv or @srvAdm have
either been added to the @dmn list increasing the refcnt or
there was an error. In either case, we can lower the refcnt
from virNetServerNew, but not set to NULL. Thus "using" the
hash table reference when adding programs later or allowing
the immediate free of the object on error.

The @dmn dispose function (virNetDaemonDispose) will handle
the Unref of each object during the virHashFree when the
object is removed from the hash table.
