[libvirt] [PATCH] virsh: improve waiting for block job readiness

Wait for a block job event after the job has reached 100% only if
exactly one of the BLOCK_JOB and BLOCK_JOB_2 callbacks were successfully
registered.

If neither callback was registered, then no event will ever be received.
If both were registered, then any user-supplied path is guaranteed to
match one of the events.

I have found that even a 2.5 second timeout isn't always sufficiently
long for QEMU to flush a disk at the end of a block job.

I hope I've understood the code properly here, because as far as I can
tell the comment I'm removing in this commit isn't right. The path the
user supplies *has* to be either the <source file='name'/> or <target
dev='name'/> exactly in order for the disk to be matched, and these are
precisely the two strings used by the two events.
