[libvirt] [PATCH] Require at least one console for LXC domain

[Ján Tomko]

A domain without a console quietly dies soon after start,
because we try to set /dev/null as a controlling TTY
2014-10-30 15:10:59.705+0000: 1: error : lxcContainerSetupFDs:283 :
ioctl(TIOCSTTY) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Report an error early instead of trying to start it.
