If blue is the sky .... These Yoda conditions should really be made
inverted. But there are some even outside of the hellolibvirt.c.

The docs should be fixed then.

I wonder if we should advise users to use the other list APIs that are
around for a while (virConnectListAll. I guess it all boils down to
question if the hellolibvirt binary is supposed to work with ancient
libvirts or is just an example shipped within a release.
In case it is supposed to work with prehistoric versions, we must add a
fallback code. If we are satisfied with the example working with current
libvirt, there's no need for fallbacking code then.
