This impl is effectively an unbounded memory leak, if you consider
that applications will keep the same virConnectPtr open more or
less forever.

In addition any libvirt API that raises multiple errors should be
considered broken, so I don't think we should have any such API
for querying multiple errors.

What is the situation that motivated this new API ?
