...this code is what checks for 1.3. In 1.2, the qemuMonitorAddFd()
call fails with an error, so we clear the bit back out. Only 1.3 allows
libvirt to specify its own set number, because that was one of the
changes qemu had to make in order to add the -add-fd command-line option.

That was my original idea, but a version number check is more fragile
(it doesn't backport well); anywhere that we can do a feature check
instead of a version check, we make backporting easier.
