I'm not really a fan of this - it is exposing details of
the RPC implementation to the applications. IMHO we should
be using the internal RPC features capability, and the
VIR_DRV_SUPPORTS_FEATURE to detect support internally,
and then return 'VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT' if string parameters
are not supported.

So IMHO all these should be VIR_DRV_SUPPORTS_FEATURE(VIR_DRV_FEATURE_TYPED_STRING)
and if the app gets back an error, it can re-try without the string parameter.

I'm kind of suprised this actually works, but I presume
you've tested old client with new server, and vica-verca
so I guess its OK.
