[PATCH v3 09/13] Introduce virConnectIsAlive API

[Jiri Denemark <jdenemar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This API can be used to check if the socket associated with
virConnectPtr is still open or it was closed (probably because keepalive
protocol timed out). If there the connection is local (i.e., no socket
is associated with the connection, it is trivially always alive.
