[PATCH v2 4/6] daemon: Raise an error if 'max_workers' < 1 in libvirtd.conf

[Marc Hartmayer <mhartmay@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hypervisor drivers (e.g. QEMU) assume that they run in a separate
thread from the main event loop thread otherwise deadlocks can
occur. Therefore let's report an error if max_workers < 1 is set in
the libvirtd configuration file.
