[PATCH 2/3] qemu: Ignore libvirt logs when reading QEMU error output

[Jiri Denemark <jdenemar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When QEMU fails to start, libvirt read its error output and reports it
back in an error message. However, when libvirtd is configured to log
debug messages, one would get the following unhelpful garbage:

    virsh # start cd
    error: Failed to start domain cd
    error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: \
      2013-04-22 14:24:54.214+0000: 2194219: debug : virFileClose:72 : \

    2013-04-22 14:24:54.216+000

instead of (the output with this patch applied):

    virsh # start cd
    error: Reconnected to the hypervisor
    error: Failed to start domain cd
    error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: \
