In this case we are not able to know whether the command succeeds.
This patch sets it to "False", and utils.run() will throw an exception
when command fails.

Problem with this is that some commands may fail and that is not a fatal problem, for example:

13:49:26 ERROR| Test failed: CmdError: Command </usr/bin/virsh -c qemu:///system domstate vm1> failed, rc=1, Command returned non-zero exit status [context: preprocessing]
* Command:
    /usr/bin/virsh -c qemu:///system domstate vm1
Exit status: 1
Duration: 0.0250420570374

stderr:
error: failed to get domain 'vm1'
error: Domain not found: no domain with matching name 'vm1'

This is just a function to probe whether the domain exists or not, so it shouldn't throw an exception. I agree we can do better handling of failures, but a more thorough patch handling failures on the functions dependent on virsh_cmd is needed.

So I'm rejecting the patch. Feel free to open an issue contemplating this perceived problem, and we can work towards a more appropriate patch.
